EsObject.toString() method:
ByteArray is a special class and it cannot be handled the same way as other arrays.

Thanks for pointing this out. I knew that toXML and fromXML didn't work with byte arrays, but wasn't aware that toString didn't work.

Is there a value in tracing an EsObject that contains a byte array? I'm not sure that would be human readable.

It doesnt need to be redable, it could be a hex representation for intstance. but at least it shouldnt throw an exception.

I'll add a ticket for this to our system.

I found a fix for it. This will be available in the next release. If you need it sooner, let me know and I'll tell you how to edit EsObject.as or a new swc (although I'm not sure that a new swc would work with ES5.1; I'm running a patched server).
