You successfully concatenated codes. You can't concatenate bytes because Flash is platform independent and doesn't want to expose the dirty details of its string implementation.

It was quite simple actually.... 1) create a bytearray 2) writebyte each value into the bytearray 3) output by using by the toString function Data was correctly decoded from the bytearray as a utf8 string, and it worked the first time. Wish I had known this 8 hours ago.... I still am not clear on why I had so much trouble with trying to use strings (why can't I just concatenate the codes?), but this works so I'm not really going to investigate it any further! Thanks
