Trying to login to RDP using AS3

I am trying to login to RDP using AS3 (air). I am doing ok, considering the lack of resources out there to understand the actual process.

I have gotten past the initial sending username, received a response from server, and I am now at initial request connection.

I am sending all my data and when sniffing traffic, I see that netmon is recognizing correctly what kind of packet I am sending (t125). I am not being disconnected by RDP and they send an ack packet - but I don't receive the response that I am expecting.

I have been cross referencing with connectoid, which is an open source RDP client. In the connection code, I am stuck where they write a mixture of little and big-endian integers.

When I look at the limited examples out there (more like packet dumps), I see that connection length for this process is 412, but my bytearray is more like 470.

I have converted connectoid methods to what I believe is correct, but with a mixture of endian type, I am still unsure.

I am sorry if this is garbled, but I am trying my best to help you to help me. I will attach some code showing what I have tried to do in conversion.
