Return the amount of bytes deserialized

An option to do this would be great, if there's multiple amf objects in a piece of data.

Could you elaborate a bit more on this?
Where would you need this feature, and could you provide a use-case?

[simonzack]

I'm using your library to write a sol library for js (localstorage for swf files). SOL concats multiple amf objects together and it's hard to tell where the next one starts.

In fact, also having an argument to the starting position within the string to parse from would be ideal, since parsing would be more efficient that way.

Can you not put delimiters between the multiple AMF objects? Or push them all into an array, so that you can pull them apart later? The library does support encoding of raw bytestreams, so this should work fine.

I don't really understand the reasoning behind this, so I'm not terribly inclined to include it - but if you could submit a PR with your suggestion and a concrete example where you shouldn't just stick all the streams into an array like I suggested, I'll definitely take a closer look.

See the sol file format here. The file format itself for the large part simply concatenates multiple AMF objects together, so there's no way to tell the boundaries. Delimiters would violate the file format.

I'll submit a PR.
