A more compact and standard way to store binary data as text is using Base64 encoding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64).
You can find some AS 3.0 encoders around (try "googling" it). Here's an implementation I wrote some months ago. So far, it has worked smoothly (I've used to send binary data to php and .NET backends). Feel free to use it as you see fit if you find it useful. http://pastebin.be/10837 Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/4/25, John Eriksson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I've been messing around with the ByteArray for some time now, and I wonder > if there isa way to convert the ByteArray to a string (ie using toString()) > and then converting that string > back into a ByteArray which would then be the same as the original > ByteArray. > > This would mean I could include an AMF serialized object in an xml document > and later deserialize > it from that string in the xml... > > Is this possible?
