I am having no problem converting a string to a byteArray of UTF-16 encoded characters, but the application I am trying to communicate with (written in Erlang) only understands Latin-1 encoding. Is there any way of producing a byteArray full of Latin-1 character codes from a string within Actionscript 3?

byteArray.writeMultiByte(string, "iso-8859-1");
