Gordon, Thank you very much for the reply.
I'm very surprised that the decision was made at some point that support for fixed decimal numbers was not absolutely an essential and required part of the product and framework before release, when targeting the enterprise customer. We need an immediate solution beyond dumbing down the client side to only use strings. So much functionality would be given up in that scenario that I'd be ashamed and embarrased of our product in the end. I'm considering creating a port to Actionscript of "BigDecimal for Javascript" which is an open source project. See http://freshmeat.net/projects/js_bigdecimal/ Custom serialization is outlined on pg 1098 of the Developer's Guide. I'm hoping I can extend BigDecimal and implement Externalizable, create a new similar object in Actionscript, and get them to serialize/deserialize correctly. Hopefully there's nothing in the Java adapter standing in the way of making this work... Any help or advice on this would be appreciated. The BigDecimal is mentioned on page 1091 of the Developer's Guide as being deserialized to both int/uint and number, with no further explanation. As I've pointed out, BigDecimal is completely incompatible with both of these AS types.
