I added the check with "" in the begining, this check is also placed in other 
parts of other methods but somehow this happened to me(get this kind of empty 
object)

Also I refactored to use a switch

this is in file XMLRPCSerializer.as

protected static function decodeObject (robject:*):*
    {
        if(robject.toString()=="")
            return "";
        var name:String;
        name = new String(robject.children().name() );

        switch(name){
            case TYPE_STRING:
            {
                return String(robject.string);
            }
            case TYPE_INT:
            {
                return new int(robject.int);
            }
            case TYPE_I4:
            {
                return new int (robject.i4);
            }
            case  TYPE_BOOLEAN:
            {
                if (isNaN(robject.boolean))
                {
                    if (String(robject.boolean).toLowerCase() == "true")
                        return true;
                    else if (String(robject.boolean).toLowerCase() == "false")
                        return false;
                    else
                        return null;
                }
                else
                {
                    return Boolean(Number(robject.boolean));
                }
            }

                var d:Array = tdatestring.match(datepattern);
                var tdate:Date =  new Date(d[1],d[2]-1,d[3],d[4],d[5],d[6]);
                return tdate;
            }
            case  TYPE_BASE64:
            {
                var base64decoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
                base64decoder.decode(robject.base64);
                return base64decoder.flush();

            }
