ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading And Writing Byte Arrays Through Custom Formatting?
Oct 20, 2010
I am currently working on the 'Flash.utils.ByteArrays' and I am using writeobject() and readobject() to write and read byte Array objects. I also understand that, the objects are serialized and de-serialized as byte arrays through AMF formatting.
Since I am trying to write the object to a device(credit card reader) that doesn't supports AMF, I was wondering if there is any other way where I can still use the writeobject() and readobject() methods but can control the creation or reading through other 'byte array ' serializing and de-serializing format options if any.

I was wondering what the 0x0 in byteArray.writeByte(0x0) means?
Is it writing a null value into the byte array?

I am trying to send a bytearray extracted from a file to the C code and return that bytearray again from the C code..I am printing the contents of the return value from C in a text view contents.text but all i can see is the byte array object "OggS". I can't see the contents of the byte array. Can anyone say where i am going wrong?.. I have posted the C code and the AS code.
AS Code:
private function copyByteArray(content:String):void{

I'm trying to serialize and deserialize a byte array to a string using Base64 for as3.
Here is my code
public function Serialize(vector:Vector.<Action>):String
{
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var serialized:String = "";
[Code].....
is the error I get after calling deserializedObj = deserialized.readObject(); Should I be get that error if I'm just trying to put this into an object? I'm not trying to put it into an action class object yet, but if it is then the action it's getting doesn't have parameters that were originally inside.

I've been searching all morning for some samples on how to read and write xml files.Here's what I have so far.My XML File called Call2Action.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Call2Action version="1.0" creationDate="2009-05-06">
<ProceraFixedImplantBridge>
<Yes>5</Yes>
[code]....
'String(xmlData[idx].Yes' is where I'm having a problem, can't figure out the syntax for declaring the element I want to read, plus I want to read the elements inside let's say <ProceraFixedImplantBridge>. I need to add that to the code.I want to increment the counter for yes or no, and write the file back.

I am a AS newbie, so just learning AS3 (I have heard that this is a good place to start!). I am trying to read and write to an XML file.I have learned how to read an xml file but for the life of me, I can not write to the file.I have found many many tutorials that I can't seem to get to work.This is my goal... I have a small flash game that after the user wins, their user name, date, time and score get entered into the xml file. So, I just want to append the new info into the existing xml file (all the files will reside in the same directory on my server). I have all the variables ready to send.. just need the way to do it!
I have a separate AS3 flash file that shows a listing of the xml file to display the scores to the users, I have a working version of this... but I may have to change this to match how the info is being stored into the xml.

I am making a program which will ask the user to select an image, then encode it to a binary string and store in an XML file. It will then be able to 'decode' the fil and reconstruct it.
I've followed a few guides online, but I can't seem to get anything to work. My understanding is that I need to break the Bitmap into it's BitmapData components, convert that to a 'byteArray' which is saved, (or optionally encoded) then that same byteArray data is retrieved and made into a movie clip onto the stage. However, no matter what I do, I can't get it to properly recreate the bitmap once i've grabbed the data... It always throws a "end of file
In order to get the basics, i've cut my code down to the bare minimum - which is just to load the image from the local filesystem, grab it's bitmapdata, clone it and place it into a new Bitmap which is added to the stage. However, I only ever get returned a "End of file encountered" error message - which seems to indicate to me it's not properly populating the byteArray. (It certainly looks much too short when traced)

reading and writing to textfiles. I need to save and load data to and from variables. I know how to read from text-files, but not how to write to them.
The text-files should work as a "database" for the high-score in a game, I cant use php cause the computer running the game wont be online all the time.

Is there a way to do file reading and writing in flash, like using actionscript 2.0? Just like how we do it in C++. Like read variables or a string from a .txt file and write in it.

I am trying to load 2 arrays.the first array is a dynamic navigation menu (linkName). The second array is the corresponding title that is loaded in a dynamic textfield. For example if link1 is clicked I want the dynamic textfield to display title1 from the array if link2 is click display title2 and so on. as of right now the dynamic navigation loads fine I just cant seem to figure out a good way to do this without writing a bunch of if statements. I would like it if the programming assumed the that the length of the title array is always going to be the same length as the link array and it finds the corresponding index.
var linkName:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var pageTitles:Array=["title1","title2","title3","title4"];
var menuHolder:Sprite = new Sprite;[code]...

I am sorting an XMLListCollection in alphabetical order. I have one issue though. If the value is "ALL" I want it to be first in the list. In most cases this happens already but values that are numbers are being sorted before "ALL". I want "ALL" to always be the first selection in my dataProvider and then the rest alphabetical.So I am trying to write my own sort function. Is there a way I can check if one of the values is all, and if not tell it to do the regular compare on the values?[code]

I have a ClipDragger class where event listeners (MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP) are added to any MovieClip I choose, which fires methods that invoke startDrag and stopDrag. This is great whenever drag and drop is all I need, but say I want to add an action to the MOUSE_DOWN function/method (for instance play an animation inside a movieclip) and add an extra event listener (MOUSE_MOVE).writing a new custom class?

I'm going to write a custom multimedia player. It will be embedded into a web-browser and will receive data from a server over SSL connection.
Required functionality is: MPEG4 video and different VoIP audio decoding (e.g. G.711 or G.729) custom controls waveform representation (or just flexible drawing API) I think about Adobe Flash (or Flex). But I know little about this technology. My biggest concern is multimedia decoding.
Can you recommend Adobe Flex or anything else for this project? What pitfalls can I expect on this way?

I have made a very simple custom class for keeping track of groups of offices for a company. The class has a Number variable to tell it how many different offices there are, and an Array to store the individual offices by name. It looks like this.
class officeCluster{
static var _className:String = "officeCluster";
// variables var numOffices:Number;
var locationArray:Array = new Array();
// functions function officeCluster() {
trace("officeCluster constructor");
}}
Now, it is my understand that when I create different instances of the class, they will each have their own version of "numOffices" and their own version of "locationArray". When I run traces of "numOffices", this seems to be true. For example,
trace(manufacturingOfficeCluster.numOffices);
trace(servicesOfficeCluster.numOffices);
yields
5
4
In the output panel, which is correct. However, there is trouble with the locationArray. It seems that as I assign different values to it, regardless of what instance I specify, there is only ONE array- NOT one for each instance. In other words,
trace(manufacturingOfficeCluster.locationArray[1].theLocation);
// theLocation is a String. The locationArray itself holds Objects.trace(servicesOfficeCluster.locationArray[1].theLocation);
Is anyone aware of any issues partaining to using Arrays within Class instances? I've been able to work around this by creating multiple arrays within the class and using a different one for each instance, but this seems very sloppy.

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

I'm trying to write a function where I can specify any amount of array, and the return value will be an array containing the contents of all of the specified arrays.I've done this, but it seems like a really slow and ugly way of doing it:
var ar1:Array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var ar2:Array = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h'];
function merge(...multi):Array[code].....
Is there an inbuilt and more efficient / nice way of achieving this? The result does not need to be in the same order as the input - completely unsorted is fine.

A little explanation: Im making a random arranging number Array. So instead of using a loop and assigning 0 to first array element, 1 to second, etc.I need to make it totally random but without repeating any numbers. To do that I made a second Array that will have the same number of children to serve as a reference.Each of them will be an Object with a property "num" , wich will be its actual number, and a property "called" wich defaults to false.Like this:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<vQuantity;i++){
ranArray.push( new Object() );

I've had a problem for awhile that was really odd. After some intense debugging, I realized the problem lied in setting an array equal to another array.[code] When setting one array equal to another, the values aren't copied over, but a reference to that memory is stored. So no matter which variable you change, they are both references to the same memory and thus both will reflect the changes.With other data types, this doesn't happen.I could fix it by looping through t1 and using push() to add each index from t1 into t2, but that seems a little messy.

correct syntax for pushing variables to arrays within arrays? I have searched many threads but found nothing that exactly answers my query.I have a class (Brigade) which amongst other variables contains an array (BrigadeUnits) This is the third element.. My Brigades are stored in an array called AllBrigades. I now need to fill the BrigadeUnits array with objects of my Units class.The hierarchy I want to create is as follows:
AllBrigades (array of Brigades)
Brigade (object)
BrigadeUnits (array within Brigade object)
Unit (Object to be stored in BrigadeUnits array)
I have tried various approaches including the following, assuming that I am addressing the first Brigade in the array:
AllBrigades [0] [2].push (MyUnit);
But when I trace this I just get undefined.
