title: Convert a string to ASCII codes and back in Flash
body: <p>In AS2 you had the functions <code>ord()</code> and <code>chr()</code> which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.</p>
  
  <p>However in AS3, <code>String.charCodeAt()</code> and <code>String.fromCharCode()</code> work with Unicode values.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?</p>
