Converter

The PlayerIO utility class that converts raw network messages, such as those message in protobuf format or BigDB objects, into native AS3 values.

toDatabaseObject

This method is used to transform a low-level BigDBObject (e.g., received from API 85) into a DatabaseObject, which is a more high-level representation.

Each object within the BigDBObject is deserialized based on its specific type.

deserializeValueObject

A helper function within the Converter class. It uses the valueType enum from the protobuf format (refer to API 85 for details) to coerce each object into AS3 types. For types like arrays and nested objects, this function is called for each element or child.

If an invalid valueType enumeration is encountered, an error will occur: Unknown valuetype in returned BigDBObject. If a type is misenumerated (for instance, if data is an integer but marked as an array), this will throw an AS3 error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Int to Array.
