View 2 RepliesIt is quite simple to do it, you write the object down to file, then you read it:

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
View 3 RepliesI have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm currently trying to communicate between java and flex by using sockets and AMF serialized objects.
On the java side I use Amf3Input and Amf3Output from BlazeDS (flex-messaging-common.jar and flex-messaging-core.jar).
The connection is correctly established, and if i try to send object from flex to java, i can easily read objects :
FLEX side :
protected function button2_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var tmp:FlexAck = new FlexAck;
tmp.id="123456789123456789123456789";

I want to read an xml file placed in the same folder as the swf. Note however there is no webserver running.
<![CDATA[
private var my_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("assets/GmetadOutput.xml");
private var loader:URLLoader;
public function startup():void {
output.text="CheckPoint1"; //This is the only output that displays!
[code]...
So on the on CreationComplete event i call startup(); The Checkpoint1 output displays but none of the other checkpoints are reached? how to read a file placed in the same folder as the swf file!
Another Adobe AIR question for you: Can we write files to the file system and leave them as read-only in Adobe AIR? In the future, we would overwrite these files (or delete them and write a new one).
Update: I tried the following approach, but I was still able to open the file, edit, and save to the file system after the process executed.

I want to retrieve file's binary content using flex but failed. Here is the code so far:

I have to browse for and open a file in AIR. I can access the file via the File class:
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("somefile.txt");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
And I can browse for a file via the FileReference class:
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.browse(allTypes);
But I cannot seem to get the file from the FileReference object into the File object.
There is no "path" member exposed when debugging the FileReference after opening it
I'm trying to get two different apps to communicate through a file. I would like app 1 to append some text to a file, and app 2 to notice, and read the new bytes (not the whole file). There is an event, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, that is supposed to fire when new data is available on a FileStream, but it only fires when I first open the file. Basically, I would like to leave the FileStream open, listening like a socket on the end of that file for changes.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to read a xml file from client. After search for it. I have got to upload the file to the server with this code.
var imagesFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("*.jpg,*.gif,*.png", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.jpeg");
fileRef.browse([imagesFilter]);
But what I want to do is to read the file from client and parse it without uploading it to the server.
I use the following to upload a file to Flex:
private var filer:FileReference;
protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var fd:String = "Files (*)";

And my file looks like this:

I need to read the uploaded file and parse it. The problem is that in my e.currentTarget.data.toString(); I get only '1' and not the rest of the String. how to successfully read this entire txt file?
Flash Builder generated AppName-app.xml descriptor for every AIR project. There are a number of settings, values there, including below. Is it possible to read these in your code without explicitly loading this XML at runtime (even this I don't know if it's possible)? Maybe Loader.info or similar?
<!-- The name that is displayed in the AIR application installer.
May have multiple values for each language. See samples or xsd schema file. Optional. -->

i'm trying to perform simple automated test on my Adobe Air Application. I decide to store some test data in external MS Excel file to decrease hardcode quantity. But I discovered, that this is not a trivial task, when you're working with Adobe Air.
Actually, i need to correct initialize an excelApp object, the rest part of logger is already implemented. I tried the following approach, but I can't find a package with ActiveXObject class defined.
excelApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
I need to read data from a file after a user has selected a file using a file browser, for a Flex web app (NOT AIR). I know this is possible in Flash 10 using the FileReference class load and data methods. But using Flash 10 is not an option for me. So does anyone know of anyway I can do this in Flash 9?

View 3 RepliesI am creating some application in flex and one of my purposes is to read content of file and display it in flex. There is huge problem, when I have file written in polish (which contains some special characters) because amfphp transfers this contents few seconds, which is to long (reading and sending content of file without any polish character if fast).My php code reads any files fast, so problem is on amfphp side. Is there any solution or I have to go with HTTPService and load contents of file directly from flex?
View 1 RepliesSo I've tried to build a small utility to view the contents of a JSON file in an easy-to-understand manner (for non-tech people).I have Googled far and wide, high and low, but every example that shows how to consume a JSON file in Flash Builder uses the HTTP service, pointing to a file on the web.Here I am, sitting in front of my MacBook, wondering why I can't make this work. In the documentation I've found (sort of relating to this issue), they always show Windows examples, and they seem to work fine:That doesn't work. I've tried some "resolve to path" syntax, but the HTTP service does not seem to allow for anything but file paths in quotes.

View 2 RepliesWe are trying to create a sqlite db file using java on the server, and encrypt it.Then we send the encrypted db file to a client's pc, which has an Adobe Air desktop app running.The air app then needs to be able to open/read-from the encrypted db file (client is read-only).We are using java 1.6, flex/actionscript 4.5, and Air 3.1.We can create the sqlite db file on the server and send it to the client, and it can be read by the client without issues, when we do not encrypt it.But we are having trouble with the encryption part. We've read quite a lot of documentation about Actionscript's ability to open encrypted sqlite files using AES + CCM (URL...).And we're trying to use java's crypto package to encrypt the sqlite db file.The encryption is important because we don't want the client to be able to open the sqlite db file with any sqlite browser, only with our Air application.
View 1 RepliesI'm about to implement
public function writeExternal( output:IDataOutput ):void {...}
public function readExternal( input:IDataInput ):void {...}
to make a set of object serializable.
Although I'm pretty sure, that I implemented all correctly, readExternal(..) at a certain point complains about too few data left to read:
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.

I wonder, if I have a circular object network like
A = { left -> B, right -> B }
B = { father -> A }
And I call
writeObject( a )
Will Flex serialize the hole object network and each object once and only one?
I did this:
Declared type annotations like this: [RemoteClass(alias="model.MyClass")]
Implemented parameter-free constructors
Declared all classes using implements IExternalizable
SharedObject's send() method is guaranteed to send each object once and only once.
Additional infos:
Reading and writing a ByteArray
Using Remote Object Components
IExternalizable interface
