them to a single number becomes inconvenient for values larger than an single int, and tricky
when the value is negative (i.e. in two's complement split into two words, with sign bit only
in the high int).
Instead of splitting a long into two ints, we store it internally as a byte array that corresponds
exactly to Java's serialized version (sequence of eight bytes, high byte first), and we provide
accessors to convert to and from Actionscript numbers. This makes Java Long values readable in
Actionscript, and vice versa.
Unfortunately, Actionscript does not have a native 64-bit integer - the closest equivalent is the
Number class. Since this is a double float with a 52-bit mantissa, very large long values will
suffer precision loss during conversion.

be extended to contain the sceneId by Whirled (Vilya's Whirled, though also
Whirled Whirled by extension) so that we don't end up with problems where
BodyObject.location changes but BodyObject.sceneId remains stale. This won't
impact Yohoho because the Yohoho client is always in a scene, it uses a
separate mechanism to track games, whereas Whirled's natural usage is to move
between scenes and non-scenes.
