Actionscript 3 :: Serializing An Array In Flash?
Jan 13, 2010
I need to serialize and unserialize (is that even a word?) an array in AS3, so it can be sent as a string.
The only problem is that it doesnt just contain text, it contains objects.
Is it possible to serialize and unserialize arrays in AS3 like you can in PHP? How can I do so?
Once this bug is fixed, all will be well with my program.
EDIT: I need to be able to sync an array across several flash files, which are connecting via TCP and can send simple things like strings and integers, so I need to be able to transmit data about this in one go, in string form.

Flash + AMFPHP is a great combination. But there are cases, when Flash Remoting with NetConnection isn't the right tool, for various reasons. Rob had a great post on this some time ago: http:[url]....He also has a nice example on how to deliver AMF to a http request, without the POST and AMF-request package to call the function that NetConnection sends, using Zend_AMF.
// Include the Zend Loader
include_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
// Tell the Zend Loader to autoload any classes we need[code].....
I really like this approach and would be very hapy to replicate it with AMFPHP. Why AMFPHP, you ask? The 'newest' version uses amf-ext, a C PHP extension, to serialize and deserialize the data. It is much faster than the php way ZendAMF is still using.Of course I already played around with AMFPHP and tried to build the necessary objects and use the Serializer class. I even got a valid AMF string, but the real data was always wrapped by a 'method package' that told the receiver this was a answer to 'Service.method' call.is there a way to serialize Flash Objects directly, without the gateway and method wrapper, in AMFPHP?

I 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?

We have an Adobe Flex client talking to a .NET server using WebORB. Simplifying things, on the .NET side of things we have a struct that wraps a ulong like this:
public struct MyStruct
{
private ulong _val;
[Code]....
I've tried playing with custom WebORB serializers, but the documentation is a bit scarce. Is this possible? If so how?
I think I can work out how to serialize it, but not the other way. Do I need to write a Custom Serializer on the the Flex end as well?

I'm using Flex 3.5, BlazeDS 3.2.0.3978 and EJB3 for backend. There are two RPC which are important to the problem. The first call will get a list of ThirdParty objects, this works fine. The second call happens when the user clicks on a ThirdParty, the details of this object (lazy collections) are retrieved. A single object is returned with most fields serialized. I say most, because for some reason, 4 boolean fields are not serialized and are put on false by flex by default.[code]I've set blazeDS logging to debug and all fields but these booleans are shown in the output. Next, I've tried stepping through the serialization process but it's fairly easy to get lost in there.

I'm trying to serialize data in AS3 but am running into a frustrating problem. Originally I had problems with "myObjClass" not being convertible, but after I discovered "registerClassAlias" I got things working allright. Some time later, I added vectors to the myObjClass. I ran into trouble with Vector Strings before, as was reported here:

When I pass a Actionscript Value Object that contains a Date variable using BlazeDS it is not getting transferring as a java.util.Date object correctly. When the setBaseDatefunction gets called on the Java side the baseDate value is NULL. The weird thing is if I rename the variable on the Java side to private Date date; and create a public void setDate( Date date) function it works. The problem is I need to pass 2 different dates so I can't uses this work around.
Here are my 2 classes:
AS3
package com.shua.flex.valueobjects {
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias='com.shua.valueObjects.myVO')]
public class myVO {
public var label:String;
public var endDate:Date;

Is there a way or a library made to deserialize a JSON string into a typed object in ActionScript and Python?
For eg.
class Person
{
String name;
[code]....
So, the last statement basically casts the object we get after deserializing the jsonString into the Person object.

I'm trying to serialize an object which has an InputStream. I need it to arrive on the flex client as a ByteArray.
[Code]...
I've set breakpoints in this code, and I see it being called as expected. However when the object arrives on the client, the input stream is typed as Object, and it contains no properties. What am I doing wrong?

I'm developing a webapp with Java backend and Flash (pure ActionScript) frontend using BlazeDS. I'm using the RemoteObject stuff to send objects, using custom serialization, where I need to implement Externalizable (Java) and IExternalizable (AS) interfaces. This works fine so far.
But now I need to send objects from Java to Flash, whose classes are generated with JAXB/XJC. Of course these generated Java classes don't implement the Externalizable interface, so it seems that I can't use my approach here. One possibility seems to be writing a XJC plugin which makes the classes implement Externalizable. But this looks like a tough job...

I'm using:
[Code]...
But I keep getting an "Error #2030: End of file was encountered." This is (probably) because the class I'm serializing is too big for the "String" object type in AS3. Is there a limitless object for storing an array of characters (or better yet binary), or am I going to have to make my own class? (like one with an array of strings)

I was not able to figure out an implementation of the callback function for the filter() method, where the callback was outside of the getGallery() function. I wonder if there is a way to get the isGallery function outside of the getGallery scope?

iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?

anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

I have a number of 'items' (mc's) contained in a scrolling mc that can be drag-dropped to other matching mc's. The items names are listed in an array and I wish to assign variables of suitability and feedback to each mc from the array also. I think this is called an associative array?

what I'm trying to do:1. php gathers filenames from folder2. flash loads the array from the php and creates a usable array out of it3. I will then use the array to load the files. I'm having a problem loading the php array. That's where I am stuck right now. I've tried various suggested solutions but I keep running into errors.The error I'm getting right now is ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property $stringall not found on String and there is no default value.

Long story short: I want to search a multidimensional array in AS3 for (in this example) the location of 6 strings - all of which are stored in another unrelared array. Long story long: Once I get the locations (in the multidimensional array) of each string, i then know where it's located, and can access other atributes of that object - so if i found the string "box3" is located in element [5] of my multidimensional array, i can now target: multiArray[5][3] to return the 4th item stored (keeping in mind we're starting from 0, so 3 is the 4th position).
I can get this to work once, but I'm trying to set up a for loop based on the length of my basic string storage array - this array holds (in this example) 6 instance name strings - each time my for loop loops, i need to run a search in my multdimensional array for the next consecutive instance name. Then, once I've located all of them (and store the results in a new temporary array) I can dig around in each location for the info I need.

I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...

I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
