[Tink]

var myArray:Array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
var myString:String = myArray.toString();

var myArray2:Array = myString.split( "," );

if you want to use your own deliminator you can use

var myArray:Array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
var myString:String = myArray.join( ".tink." );

var myArray2:Array = myString.split( ".tink." );

just in case you have the coma character in items stored in your Array.
