Sometime toString() call fails, I use something alike :

var str = null;
                try{ str = defval.toString();} catch(d:Dynamic){};
                if( str==null){
                    try { str = Std.string( defval ); }  catch (d:Dynamic) { };
                }
                if( str!=null)
                    defval = new Serialized(str).escape();
                else {
                    defval="#unknown";
                }

But I don't really get the whole picture so it might induce problems... so maybe you can do an improvement here :)

thx

defval.toString() and Std.string(defval) should do exactly the same thing. Why is toString failing in the first place?

try{
defval = new Serialized(defval.toString()).escape();
}catch(d:Dynamic){ throw d+" "+defval;};
