In Flex, I have a GUID that I receive as input in the following format "as a string. How would I convert this to a string of Base64 encoded values?
Please note that we have to account for leading zeroes in each section of the GUID, for example, "0091AFBC-8558-482A-9CF6-64F1745E7AC1"
In javascript, I have a variable which holds a pdf in base64 (the pdf is generated in flex and passed to js). I want to open it in the browser (ie I want the browser to display the open/save dialog box letting the user open or save the pdf).
I am using Data URI which works fine in some browsers, but is not supported in IE 6/7:
function getPdf(pdf) {
window.open("data:application/pdf;base64," +pdf);
}
How can I get this PDF to open in IE6 and 7? I've read about MHTML as an alternative to data uri but I don't think it can do what I need, or can it? For now I just need to open pdfs but in the future I will probably need to add support for xls (MS Excel) files too. Currently I'm using Flash's Filereference.save to let the user save the pdf to the disk then he can open it, but the client is insisting on giving the user a choice to open it automatically rather than forcing him to save it first.
I have recently been using Charles the debugging app. And noticed a very chatty app named skyrocket (a very very cool slide presentation app) sending a lot of data across the wire. It is built in flex by the looks and I was wondering why they had chosen to send their data using base64 and not amf. Is it because they don't want to be locked into the flash platform? Or could there be another reason. Is it to store it as XML in the database as they don't want to be dealing with amf when handing data to other services/clients (iPhone etc).
View 2 RepliesI'm developing a flex application that displays a list of images along with some metadataThe images are less than 500kb. They are stored in the database as base64 encoded stringsretrieved using PHP, send over to flex as XML (which creates a fairly large XML output file)Now my problem is that, while I can display upto 2-3 images easily, anything more than 3 or sometimes 2 images will cause the images to be corrupt. Sometimes the whole app fails.I am guessing this is due to the large size of the generated XML. I know I am doing something wrong here. I want to know what is the proper method for storing/retrieving a lot of images in a flex application.

View 1 RepliesOut of a drawing I'm generating a PNG and upload it as a Base64 string via PHP to my server. Is it possible to compress the Base64 string in AS3?

I'm using AS3 to base64 encode a JPG and pass it to Javascript. I'm attempting to use AJAX to pass that base64 encoded string to PHP and have PHP decode it. (I know I could send it back to Flash and Flash could decode it and send it to PHP, but I'm trying to eliminate the need for Flash on the decoding end).It appears that AS3's encodeToBase64String() function and and PHP's base64_decode() function do not use the same algorithm, as PHP evaluates it as a base64 encoded object, but does not seem to output it properly

View 2 Replies'm trying to convert a movieclip to base64 and send it a server.
I've checked everywhere and I realized I can do it with an external PHP page that will communicate with the flash file and will send the MC as BASE64 JPG using POST.
Unfortunately, my client asked me to do that WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL FILES (so I can't use the PHP page). Only the final SWF should be used.
I've tried to convert the project from AS2 to AS3, but it seems to be almost impossible.
Is there any way to convert the MC to JPG without the PHP page?

So I'm using AlivePDF to generate a 6 page PDF with a range of text and graphics. It's a fairly large PDF, prob 4mb when saved. I need to be able to pass the PDF along with a few other variables to a PHP script that uploads the PDF and then sends an email.
Because I need to pass the PDF data along with other information, I've been using a standard POST request with URLVariables, only I Base64 encode the PDF ByteArray before sending to avoid any sort of corrupt data. This works fine, except the Base64 encode operation takes ~8 seconds, and sometimes longer on a slower machine, causing a timeout.

We have a Adobe AIR desktop client which talks to a WAMP server. How can i convert this AIR app to a Flex app to be used in the browser.
View 2 RepliesI am using Adobe Air to get data from SalesForce, and present it in a datagrid. I am using a query to get the data, and then put it into an arraycollection that is bound to the datagrid, this works correctly and the data is displayed. The problem is that I want to convert the Account Id in the Event to show the account Name. To do this I am using the following code:-
_serviceWrapper.query( "Select * From Event order by StartDateTime asc", new mx.rpc.Responder( eventQueryHandler, faultHandler ))}
protected function eventQueryHandler(qr:ArrayCollection):void {
var acctIdss:String = "";
for each(var contact:DynamicEntity in qr) {
[Code] .....
This works and displays the Account Name, the problem is that when I use this script and then Sync Changes to SalesForce all the records that have been displayed are identified as needing to be syncronised even if they have only been displayed. If I skip the function eventQueryHandler, and link my query to the OnQueryResult function then there is no problem, but only the Account Id can be displayed. How can I stop Air marking these records as having changed, or is there a better way to achieve this?

I'm working with several components that take color as a uint, but the colors I have are in the format of "#161616". I'm not sure what the relation between the 2 types of colors are or how to go from one to another.It doesn't have to be an actionscript solution. I have only a small number of these colors, so can be done manually too.
View 4 RepliesI want to format the currentTime displayed by a videoPlayer component inside flex, something like : 8230.999 to something like 01:59:59:999 which is "hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds". I tried different sets of codes but they can't get it to work because currentTime is nor a correct milliseconds time as it adds a floating 3 digit point to seconds;
So instead of : 2000ms it outputs 2.000
