bytearray to string

One trick shown me that I could use bytes+"" which convert into String but not a pure String. It is acceptable by any UI components except it won't accept when I thro开发者_开发知识库w bytes+"" into switch statement. How do I convert bytearray to pure string?

private function socketDataHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    try {
        rsocket = event.target as Socket;
        bytes = new ByteArray();
        rsocket.readBytes(bytes);
        kEvent(bytes+"");
        rsocket.flush();
    } catch (error:Error) {
        Alert.show(error.message, "Error");
    }
}

If your string is UTF8, you can just do the following:

var myString:String = bytes.readUTF();

You can see this in the documentation here:

Just use toString() method.

var ba:ByteArray;
var str:String = ba.toString();
