Thanks for doing this. Extensive string concatenation with plus operator is definitely a no-no in the C# world, much better to use StringBuilder class.

So it is really good to know that one operator does the trick in Actionscript.

I’m currently learning flex and I ran into this problem. Unfortunately Flex array handling seems to be pretty slow. Here is the solution I adopted;

private function readASCII(length:int):String
{

var text:String = “”;
while (length > 0) {

var temp:String;
if (length >=
{
temp = String.fromCharCode(inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(),
inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get());
length = length – 8;
}
else if(length >= 4)
{
temp = String.fromCharCode(inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get());
length = length – 4;
}
else if(length >= 2)
{
temp = String.fromCharCode(inputBuffer.get(), inputBuffer.get());
length = length – 2;
} else {
temp = String.fromCharCode(inputBuffer.get());
length–;
}
text = text.concat(temp);

}
return text;

}

Thanks for proving this out, it answered my question and saved me time. Flex continues to impress me …
