## Any tips on how to get this working. I have found that writeByte(0xFF); writeByte(0xFE); At the beginning of the Byte Array alters the Encoding How ever the resulting String using the toString method still creates escape characters.

I am trying to write the byteArray to another AS3 file to be compiled later.  
TIA
