NullPointerException, Number data type

Jereme,

I reproduced the bug in my local environment.

When I run this ActionScript code, I observe a NullPointerException on the
server:

button_btn.onRelease = function() {
	observerRemote = serviceConnection.getService(observerRemotePath, this);
	var x:Number = new Number(1);
	observerRemote.testRemote(x);
};

I found a workaround for this bug.  This ActionScript code does not trigger
the
NullPointerException:

button_btn.onRelease = function() {
	observerRemote = serviceConnection.getService(observerRemotePath, this);
	var x:Number = 1;
	observerRemote.testRemote(x);
};


Although the ActionScript code is similar, the Flash Player is sending 
different AMF messages to the server.

The reason that OpenAMF encounters a NullPointerException is 
because org.openamf.io.AMFDeserializer.readASObject always 
returns null
