I haven't worked with the Google API's, so this is a guess, but I suspect that Google is returning XML, and that you are doing some sort of parsing to convert some of the XML into the hexadecimal number. If that is correct, you ought to be able to use e4x to extract a string from the XML.

Hello all, I am using the Google APIs and am finding the IDs of the objects in Google are not getting translated correctly. When I request for a list of GData objects I get back objects that in the debugger look like this: id = mx.collections. ArrayCollection (@10781ec1) [0] = 5189229149115242496 [0x4803d86adb1dd800 ] dispatchResetEvent = true filterFunction = null length = 1 list = mx.collections. ArrayList (@1048bb51) sort = null source = Array (@106e75b9) When I read the value of id[0] I get "518922914911524200 0" . What would be the correct way of handling this value? I am attempting to covert it into a string so I can build a different URL. Thanks, - Ivo
