View 2 RepliesI have a URLLoader which normally requesting the data to be in Text format, anyway on a specific conditions it might gets a Binary as result, which is actually just 1 integer number in binary format. Anyway the conversation :
[Code]...
doesnt passing anymore since the result data is in text forma due the request header... How to convert the result data into integer ?
i have a large text file full of several chunks of binary data, each chunk separated by "---"
so it looks like this:
[Code]...
I have loaded the data in an untyped variable. var data:* = URLLoader(event.target).data; so data contains all the text file content. my problem is that i want to parse this text file and put each chunk of binary data into a ByteArray.
any ideas of how i can go about doing that? i have never dealt with untyped variables before so i am not sure what to do. and i don't want to lose the binary data representation by casting (if that happens).
I'm trying to build a variety of text generators that I can repurpose for different projects similar to the ones used on this site: [URL] I can get the external text into flash (via xml) but how do I go about breaking those characters apart and animating each letter in? I don't mind doing the work, I just need a few pointers in the right direction.
View 2 RepliesI got a web banner made from a person in india and I was trying to examine the fla file. In the library there are four .swf movie files and I don't think they were made in the adobe flash software as they would have taken all day to do. Is there a program out there that can quickly make cool text effects with a transparent background and then be able to import the finished txt effect into adobe flash and use in the fla file?
The banner I am relating to can be downloaded here [URL] and the text effects that I am talking about are
Movie1.swf
Movie2.swf
Movie3.swf
Movie4.swf
how to make this effect of marco.marezza text or only for one character.url...
View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble getting any of my adobe software to produce a drop shadow without pixelating the image. I'm working with FL but I've tried PS and IL and everytime it ends up looking like an 8 bit graphic. It happens with all the preset effects. The laptop I'm using has a 4 gigs of RAM and a core duo with a 512 MB graphics card How can I set my software to produce the highest quality effects?
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash CS5 to generate an array of the notes in a midi file. Basically I store data such as time of the note, note duration, pitch, scale, volume, etc.I have 2 questions:How can I export all these data in order to use it in after effects (as a txt file? other formats?);How do I use the exported file in After Effects later on: How do I tell After Effects when to start playing a note in a specific time? how do I associate note height with a specific feature (lets say - square width) - and so on.I DO know some basic coding in after effect (how to associate elements inside After - such as volume and opacity) but I need to understand how to deal with an exported file (and in which format to generate it).
View 1 Repliesmy sister asked me to do smth for her that let me scratch my head: she wants to make a signature text in a forum and wants to add sound to this signature so when her post is shown the sound will play in background together with her text signature.
I'm not sure this could be done in flash? is there a way to have some jpeg image with sound effect? or should it be a video? maybe forums restrict adding a flash doc as a signature?
Is there any way to create text effects like arc in, arc out, blend, bridge over etc as in th powerpoint, photoshop text effects in actionscript.I created arc and circle text.I need for blend and waving text effects.
View 7 Repliesi am a beginner user of flash & i think i have mentioned this in my earlier post here few days back , i have just made a little dynamic text field and loading some html text and images into it via xml CDATA node. everything is working fine i just wanted to put some animation effects on my text field while loading it through xml ...i added some motion tween in the beginning which actually moves whole text field from out side of canvas to inside at its original place with ease out . its looking fine to me but i noticed that dynamic text loads a bit late and during tweening i just see empty text field .so i was wondering how to put some simple effects on loading dynamic text
View 3 RepliesI'm just starting to delve into AS, so this should be easy. I'm applying a simple alpha fade to the onEnterFrame event of a movie clip using AS, and inside that movie clip there is a dynamic text box that gets its content from an XML file. The fade works fine on everything except the text - the whole movie clip fades in, but the text just instantly "jumps into existence".
View 1 Repliesi need to write AS 2.0 code for creating text effects like those we have in ms word clipart.. i dont need it to be all that complex though. what i need is to make the text pinched.. so that if there's a word, the ends of the word are more in height but in the middle, its slim then i need to make the text seem bloated.. which is exactly the opposite of pinched. then i also need the word to appear wavy.. as if the word is riding on a wave ya know.. then, i need the word to slant backwards and forwards i also need it to have a dropshadow but i found stuff by senocular on it. so i guess i'll manage that by the filters and all.
View 6 RepliesAnyone tried TextAnim? It's brilliant for making your own text effects.I am making something real simple but cannot get it to work. I am sure just pure AS3 thinkers could probably solve this without even knowing the class.I store some lines of text in an array, and each time I click the stage - the text anim kicks into do its magic on the new line of text pushed at it.here's the code - i have an instance of myTextField already on the stage
Code:
var t1:String = "This is my first line to write";var t2:String = "This is the black hole I was talking about";
var t3:String = "And now TO END WITH CAPITALS";
var txt_ary:Array = new Array(t1,t2,t3);[code].....
Just actionscript? [URL] i use tweener to animate blocks of text created dynamically but like that, on Browse effect database, take a look on Scatterbounce. just so cool! just actionscript???
View 2 RepliesI have a custom socket class designed to connect to a server and talk with it. At one point, the server uses hex data for speed, however Flash seems to not get ANY of this data. In fact, it doesn't get ANY of the data from that point to the next packet.

View 6 RepliesI have an array of objects. Each object has 3 integer fields and 2 binary fields.I've utf encoded the binary data and json encoded the array & sent it to Flex client side.On the client side, decoding data, I've got a String representing the binary data (utf decoded).Now, how can I convert this String to ByteArray? Or how can I read each byte of the String?
View 1 RepliesI want to write a logging system to log errors but I want the format of the file to be binary. Can you write and/or read binary files in Flex 4? (actionscript to be more precise)
View 2 RepliesI've been asked to implement and MD5 hasher ActionScript-3 and as I was in the middle of debugging how I formatted my input I came across a problem. When I try and output the ByteArray as a binary string using .toString(2), the toString(2) method will perform some short cuts that alter how the binary should look.
For Example
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
bytes.endian = Endian.LITTLE_ENDIAN;
bytes.writeUTFBytes("a");
bytes.writeByte(0x0);
var t1:String = bytes[0].toString(2); // is 1100001 when it should be 01100001
var t2:String = bytes[1].toString(2); // is 0 when it should be 00000000
so I guess my question is, might there a way to output a binary String from a ByteArray that will always shows each byte as a 8 bit block?
I wrote an image editor for my cms and wanted to send the image respectively the through the BitmapData's getPixels()-method received ByteArray to a PHP-script that displays and finally saves the image. Obviously I didn't succeed. How do I have to encode my binary data so that PHP is able to read it and how do I have to treat the bytes in PHP? I also tried encoding the image data with the corelib classes from [URL] but it didn't work as well.

I'm using a binary socket to talk to a server and it works fine the first time I send data. Then I receive data from the server and send a response but it's never received... like the connection closed or something. I have an event handler on the socket close event, but it doesn't fire. I can trace to the socket sending data, but if I trap the data received event on the server, nothing is received.. like it's closed the socket. Is there something I need to reset or have I missed a key concept in binary sockets?

I am using pixelfumes reflect class to create a releflection, the problem i have is (i) It only accepts reference to a movieclip. (ii) I cannot cast my binary data as a movieClip var item:Bitmap has to stay as a bitmap so either I make a copy of it as a moveclip and reflect it or find a way to pass it directly into the new Reflect() constructor.

I m trying to write AS3 to take a screenshot of a MC thats on the stage and pass the data to a .cfc method which saves it as a jpg on the server.The current code I have kind of works except the jpg is unreadable.I think it has something to do with not using Flex, AMF, and writing binary files.When I look at the jpg via a hex viewer I think it doesnt have the right jpg header.The jpg begins with:c3 bf c3 98 c3 bf c3 a0 00 10 4a 46. When I think it should begin with:ff d8 ff e0 00 10 4a 46

We have a system that allows a user to upload any image, which we store on the server. Of course, it is simple to load an image (that you know the path to) using loadMovie, but I also want to load certain pieces of meta data about the image that is precalculated and stored on the server; we may one day want to retrieve things completely unrelated to the image as well, so consider the non-image data to be arbitrary.So, that said, is there a way to simply return the image as a variable (urlencoded and returned in a loadVars request, perhaps) and then load that data into a movie clip?
Bonus Lightning Round Question: Is there a way to check the output of a PHP script which processes uploads when the request is sent via FileReference.upload(url:String)? Should I load/escape the binary data and then send it using a loadVars() request if I want to see the output?
