how to convert a file I have on my server (pdf/excel/ppt) to a ByteArray. The reason I want to do this is to display the dialogue open/save as to the user and I must set the Content-Type to octet-stream. The dialogue shows fine with just navigateToURL() but for pdf's it is the user's local browser setting. For a URLRequest I must set the data as a ByteArray. I'm trying to use the code located here:
Custom printing with Flex
I am trying to take data that I have extracted from a ZIP file in Actionscript, then convert it to a File object so I can write it to the documents folder for my air app to use.

View 1 RepliesThere is a WSDL which have one method which take byteArray & fileName(which i want to write) as a parameter to write a file in local system, the following is the code...
public void writeLocation(byte[] byteToWrite, String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException
{
StringBuffer fileLocation = new StringBuffer("D:\Products\Device");

but the flex 2 showing the error when i searched i found out in flex 2 there is no "data" property. so i am unable to create the selected object into byteArray..
How do i open file and get its content as a ByteArray in AS3. I saw examples, using FileStream & File classes from flex.filesystem, but the doc says it's for AIR only.
View 4 RepliesI have an Air application with remote service in codeigniter.I'm trying to save a bytearray that I received from the Air app but when I save the data I get empty files with the correct filename.So there must be something wrong with my bytearray or the way I save the data.Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?I've debugged the Arraycollection I sent and the bytearray is definitely in there.

I want to open a pdf/excel/doc using flex, as all know we can use navigateToUrl(URL) method to open a file from the server. But my problem is those files are encrypted in the server, so I load the files as follows
ByteLoader = new URLLoader();
ByteLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
ByteLoader.load(new URLRequest (constructedURL));
so that I can manipulate them and can get the decrypted file. Now my question is, my data already got downloaded from the server, so how will I launch the files(pdf/doc/excel) with the binary content which I had got?
Is there anyway i can launch those files like we do it in navigateToURL()?
I want to convert a ByteArray wich contains a .flv file read through a socket connection to a video playable object and play it, or attach it somehow to the netstrem as its source. Why this ? I'm trying to write an app using AS 3.0 that connects two swf clients to each other directly without a server (after they know of each other) and allow them to exchange video sequences. So the reverse way video -> bytearray -> network -> reciever ->video would be of interest aswell.

Just to clear this up ByteArray Need to Place into Bitmap and then you can add to the movie Clip right?

I'm working on a small web project Combines between flash AS3 and php ,the project Depends on three steps...

I have a string, I am compressing it with bytearray and save it to a file. In other application I am loading it and when I try to uncompress it, it's give me an error. How can I convert a compressed string in to bytearray type to be able to convert it? The code for compression:
var b:ByteArray = new ByteArray();b.writeMultiByte(t,"iso-8859-1")b.compress();
i have a string which contains all binary data. the binary data represents a custom object in my application.
i want to convert all the data inside the string into binary format and store it in a ByteArray. then I want to read the object from the ByteArray using readObject.
My program saves text files, which contain various text, some of which is a string representation of a ByteArray. It does this by using the toString() method of the flash.utils.ByteArray class, which I assume converts a ByteArray (for example, 13x$) into its string representation "13x$". So how do you reverse the process, and turn the string ("13x$") into a ByteArray (13x$)? Even if it's not that simple, I just need to have the ByteArray, put something in a text file, and extract from it the same ByteArray.

I'm giving users the ability to upload an image to my Air app, then displaying this image in an image control. But I need to allow for PDF uploading in the same manner, so I need to convert the PDF to an image. I only care about the first page of the PDF they upload for now. What I'm doing is:
1) User browses for a file with the file reference control
2) User chooses the image or PDF to upload
3) I encode said image to base64 and store it
4) I then load from that base64 with something like:

View 1 RepliesI am working on a game, made with Flash (using AS3) The game has a fast ball and when this ball hits an object it has to make a sound... but the sound starts with delay (so the ball is far away when the sound is played).This sound is edited by me and it hasn't got any silences at the beginning.The method i'm currently using is the simplest one:
public var sonidoPuntos1:sonidopunto1 = new sonidopunto1()
and then...
sonidoPuntos1.play()
I am trying to introduce the file into a ByteArray and then playing it from there...
Well, i am recording the voice from heaphone and the sound data is stored in ByteArray at runtime, now can i stored as mp3 ?i want to save as mp3 file on the client system.. For that, i think i have to use air application..

View 1 RepliesI think I have a basic understanding of using bytearray and saving data to a local fileI've been able to save the data (strings) and bring them back.To start off, I have been teaching myself AS3. I have no knowledge of PHP or where to start with that. It has been said many times that you cannot make a txt file from within flash. Unfortunately this is what I need to do.I put together a map labelling app to use at work here. (it loads in a floor plan, then you can add 'nodes' that track info on each office - employee, ext, office #, data line jack, etc.) I would like to use this data in an access database that I have already running.in short, I would like to output my data from the mapper to CSV. On putting the data into a bytearray I am comfortable with marking the commas as well as line ends, but the data is not txt... is there a way to convert it
