You want the actual bytes. And You really need dec.toByteArray() because you want a byteArray not a string. You never even wanna deal with strings because as soon as you do, the bytes in your ByteArray is no longer accurate because they have been converted to something else. And that's the whole point of Base64 anyway: to take what you can't read (the actual characters of the bytes (in 8 bits), with all sorts of none ASCII characters, and turn them into readable ASCII characters (6 bits) and slide the extra 2 bits over to the next byte.) ]]> Fri, 05 Nov 2010 21:04:11 GMT http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/ http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/ public static function serializeToString(value:Object):String { var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); bytes.writeObject(value); bytes.position = 0; var be:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder(); be.encodeBytes(bytes) return be.drain(); } public static function readObjectFromStringBytes(value:String):Object { var dec:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder(); dec.decode(value); var result:ByteArray = dec.toByteArray(); result.position = 0; return result.readObject(); } ]]> Fri, 05 Nov 2010 20:51:08 GMT http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/ http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/ Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:13:02 GMT http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/ http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/ Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:07:26 GMT http://snipplr.com/view/6494/action-script-to-string-serialization-and-deserialization/
