Then convert that into Bitmap Data and draw the bitmap on the stage.

Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to convert an variable that contains XML data to a String. Anyone have a clue on how to achieve this?
My main problem is that the XML data is formatted nicely, but I need to store it in the database without the linebreaks and tab stops and whitespaces.

However, it seems like there should be some way to cast the string into AS, that Flash can use to access the proper array, without having to do the complex string.slice statement.
