Flash: Introduction to ByteArray

ByteArray is an extremely powerful Class that can be used for many things related to data manipulation, including (but not limited to) saving game data online, encrypting data, compressing data, and converting a BitmapData object to a PNG or JPG file. In this introduction, we’ll use the ByteArray class to take a native AS3 object and encode it to a string that could be saved to a server for later recovery, then decode it later.
