Won't deserialize RemoteClass

[sk3tch]

It looks like when the message contains a remote class, like this:

Then the RemoteClass is skipped during the parsing.

Also, how would you create an object like a RemoteClass in Ruby to serialize?

Thanks!

RemoteClass only works when you use RemoteObject to make calls to your AMF gateway. If you use the old style NetConnection#call API, then the only way to ensure that the class is aliased is to use registerClassAlias. Once you have properly aliased your object, you need to define a mapping in ruby so that your object is deserialized as the proper ruby class.

class Animal
  attr_accessor :name, :age
end

# Map "Animal" in ruby to "Animal" in flash
RocketAMF::ClassMapper.define do |m|
  m.map :as => 'Animal', :ruby => 'Animal'
end

Once you define a mapping in Ruby, then anytime you serialize or deserialize the mapped object, it will have the right class.
