I am using AS2 in flash CS3. I am trying to set up a communication between a flash client and a C# server. I would like to know if Flash allows me to perform XML serialization in the way that C# does. This is because I would like to use the XMLserialization class in C# for passing of data. If this is not possible, what other methods are available for communication?

View 1 RepliesI was using the serializing approach between Flash and PHP for the longest time before AMFPHP had its 1.0 release (wow...that was a long time ago...in 2006)!Serializing using a sepiroth's AS library paired with PHP's built in serializing functions worked and I didn't change it because it did the job.
Should I switch over to the AMF format and technology? One pro is that the data exchange is probably more efficient for AMF because it's a binary format.I've also see other scripting languages/frameworks such as Python/Django, Ruby/Rails supporting AMF. I guess AMF is also a standard format. Does each language serialize data differently?
When I'm making projects with Flex (or Flash Builer) the end result usually performs much better than a similar level project made with the Flash authoring tool. I know Flash IDE is rather for animations and design heavy works so you can't really compare these 2 tools, but this question is bugging me for a long time.If apps made with Flex (or Flash Builder) are really faster and less CPU intensive - why is that?
View 1 RepliesI have Flex application(not AIR) thats load image and perform some effects, application works well in flash builder and in the debug folder. But when I am trying to copy *.swf to another local folder, appears problems with image loading.
UPDATE You don't understand me, i am trying to load image from desktop using FileReference class, image shows successfully, but origBitmap after saveAsBitmap() method is null
public function loadImage():void
{
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected); [code].....
The file consists of 3 buttons and 3 input fields. Clicking either of the first 2 buttons will place a specific number in one of the 2 corresponding input fields. The third button adds the previous 2 values and displays the result in the 3rd input field. The fields themselves are uneditable and only for displaying the numbers. My question is what is the correct listener/function to have the "total" function perform automatically when either of the first 2 text fields change in value.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to test my application to make sure that all the important classes can serialize/reload themselves properly (especially those which implement IExternalizable):
[Test]
public function testMyObjectSerialization():void {
var myobj:MyObject = new MyObject();[code]....
And I would like to be warned when I try to serialize a strongly-typed object which does not have a [RemoteClass] set (because that almost certainly represents a bug in my code).So, is there any way to configure the AMF serializer to give warnings?Also, it seems like this might be possible using services-config.xml... But the documentation seems to imply that services-config is channel-level, and I'd really like it if my unit tests could run without talking to the server (and I'm not using LCDS, so a bunch of the services-config wouldn't apply to me anyway).
I have an actionscript class that serializes and unserializes data compatible with php's serialization functions. I expanded it to support binary data but now the unserialization does not seem to work. For example, this data is not unserialized correctly:

Another observation on serialization:Make sure that you have registered ALL classes that may be written by the writeObject() method.By 'registering' I mean using the registerClassAlias() call.Most noticeably this goes for subclasses.For example, if I write an object to the streamwith

View 2 RepliesWhat is serialization support like for the new Vector class? I have a Vector.<GameMove> which I'd like to serialize into a ByteArray. GameMove is a custom class. I presume it's necesssary to call registerClassAlias() on GameMove, but do I also have to register Vector.<GameMove>? It's it it's own distinctive type, or is it kinda composed of those two types?

I recently came into a situation when sending a nested object from Java to Flex via a HashMap the Objects were null. More precisely:final Map< Integer, List<String>> tempMap = new HashMap<Integer, List<String>>();would send the keys as integers but the values were all null.But when sending the same with String keys:final Map<String, List<String>> tempMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();the objects came thru.Are there any restrictions in BlazeDS serialization when using complex types as keys?
View 1 RepliesIs there any way, without having the creator of the object implement any special functions (no specific serialization functions) (however, they can use annotations), to have Flash serialize a generic, possibly deep (objects within objects within objects, etc, etc, etc) object?
View 2 RepliesThe game is written in Flash, and I plan to develop the server in node.js because (a) it would be a cool project for learning node.js, and (b) it's fast, which is important for games.The server's architecture is based on messages sent between the server and client (sort of like Minecraft's server protocol). The message format I have so far is a byte (the packet type), two bytes (the message length) and that many bytes (the message data, which is a mapping of key-value pairs). Problem is, I really don't want to develop my own serialization format (because while I probably could, implementing it would be a pain compared to using an existing solution).Unfortunately, I am having problems finding a good candidate for the message data serialization format.
ActionScript's own remoting format might work, but I don't like it much.SON has support in node.js (obviously) and in ActionScript, but it's also textual and I would prefer binary for enhanced speed.MessagePack looked like a good candidate, but I can't find an ActionScript implementation. (There's one called as3-msgpack on Google Code, but I get weird errors and can't access it.)BSON has an ActionScript implementation, but no node.js support besides their MongoDB library (and I'm planning on using Redis).
It will basically walk you through the windows to perform a typical setup, with some branching off for special cases. Essentially a main series of screen shots with text that you can scroll through using arrows, with links off to other screen shots or sequences as need. My boss wants it to be "hip and flashy", so wants me to look into Flash. But is that the best tool to use for this ? In all the Flash tutorials I have been watching I haven't seen anything that looks like that kind of application.
View 1 RepliesI'm building a realtime action multiplayer game in Flash which is using too much bandwidth because it sends message objects as XML (as required by the Smartfox server). I'm now trying to cut down on that by serializing my objects to strings before feeding them to Smartfox. I've tried JSON but it doesn't work. Is there another serialization method that is compacter, for example that encodes numbers in Base64 instead of decimals? I don't care about human-readability in this case.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to do custom serialization of Arrays/ArrayCollections in as3 via amf. To be more specific, i want to be able to pool objects on the client so that im not instantiating new objects every time i make a RemoteObject call. I tried using IExternalizable but that only lets me serialize the objects myself not instantiate them. The flash player is still instantiating objects itself and them letting me set the object state via readExternal.
View 3 Repliesi need to serialize AS3 strong typed Objects, send them to a C# Application and then be able to derserialize them as Hashtables/Dictionarys or so because i have no corresponding C# Class. I then will make some changes to that Hastable and need to be able to send them back to the as3 App. I tried using JSON (see this question with bounty Typed AS3 JSON Encoder and Decoder ?) as i already got JSON serialization to Hashtables in C#. It does not work because AS3 has no support for typed JSON.
I also looked in XML and found asx3m http://code.google.com/p/asx3m/ which is strong typed in as3 but i can find a solution to serialie and deserialize this to proper hashtables in c#.
I've been looking at various questions in StackOverflow and in other sites, but I have not seen a library that a) generates actionscript code given XSDb) serializes to and deserializes from XML using the generated classes. In Java world this is JAXB. I have a set of large XSDs, based on which a web service is producing XML output. I don't want to write actionscriptclasses by hand, that'd be huge piece of work. Having source code in actionscript since writing code based on runtime binding of xml/json to objects is much more error prone compared to having proxy like classes.
View 1 RepliesI'm using BlazeDS to remote some Java objects that I'm consuming in a Flex application. I'm getting a type coercion error with one of my classes that I can't for the life of me figure out. I have other classes that are working fine using the same data types, and I've gone over my mapping a dozen times. I'm following all of the necessary conventions for getters and setters as far as I know...
Anyhow, my question is: how can I debug this problem? Running the Flex app in debug mode spits out some generic errors to the console that don't really help much (TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@5d1d809 to valueObjects.SomeClass.).
I'm trying to use the native flex serialization/deserialization process to save/load state of a workspace in flex. In order to save or load a file I have to use my servlet, which just bounces back the bytes from the input stream to the output stream. Here's a basic outline of my Flex code:[code]So my problem here is not with the saving of the workspace. That works great. My problem is with the loading of a workspace. The event.data that I write to the byte array is not reconstituted into a MyWorkspace object even though it is exactly what I wrote to the file.There has to be a way of making a MyWorkspace object from the data, but I can't figure it out.

ActionScript [code]...
for example, I try to search " keyIn:String = "BR1014"; " means I wanna search BR1014 in 4 XML files, so I load the XML info into an array, and using for loop to loop the XML array (in this case TitleArray1[i], TitleArray2[i]...)
and compare it with keyIn (which store the value BR1014), some how the value is located in TitleArray4[i] which have the length of 12 (trace(TitleArray4[i].length) = 12)
so everytime I run it, I will overwrite abc 12 times... and out put 12 time the abc value, in this case BR1014 was located in TitleArray4[3], so the 4th output of "abc" is BR1014 but others is all 999.
