Referencing aliasNbPages macro fails due to type conversion problem.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. myPDF.setAliasNbPages ( "[nb]" );
   myPDF.textStyle( new RGBColor (0,0,0), 1 );
   myPDF.setFont( FontFamily.HELVETICA, Style.NORMAL, 18 );
   // then use the alias when needed
   myPDF.addText ("There are [nb] pages in the PDF !", 150, 50);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected:  
There are 2 pages in the PDF !

Actual:
There are null pages in the PDF !

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.4.8

On Windows XP, with Flex 3.0.

Please provide any additional information below.
There is an error in the PDF.createPageTree() method supplying the 'nb'
argument to findAndReplace().  Casting 'as String' does not work, should
use 'toString() instead:

// broken with 'as String'
//    for( n = 0; n<nb; n++ ) arrayPages[n].content = findAndReplace (
aliasNbPages, ( nb as String ), arrayPages[n].content );

// fixed with toString()
      for( n = 0; n<nb; n++ ) arrayPages[n].content = findAndReplace (
aliasNbPages, nb.toString(), arrayPages[n].content );

This does not work still but if you cast the "nb" to a string before using it 
in the 
findAndReplace function it works perfectly!!!!

            var nbs:String = nb.toString();
            if( aliasNbPages != null )
            {
                 page.content = findAndReplace( aliasNbPages, nbs, page.content);
            }

Neither of these fixes work for me. In both cases, when using aliasNbPages 
feature, the 1st page of my PDF fails to render, the 2nd page renders but the 
footer does not, and the rest of the pages render fine.
