[flex_india:30170] MvieClip or Sprite to ByteArray

[Arindam Mojumder]

Hello friends,

Is it possible to convert MvieClip or Sprite to ByteArray, so I can load swf fine once and clone it in an application, like I do with BitmapData?

if using flex4 use fx:library tag to load the swf, reuse that swf from the library

Actually I am working on a online drawing/post card design application in Actionscript 3.0.

There has an option to save data. Next time when user will login then he can reedit the drawing again.

So I was thinking to convert the drawing palette as  a bytesArray and save it as a .txt file. So that In future I can reload the .txt file

and convert it to original movieClip/Sprite. I just don't want to go through xml structure, bcoz it will make the application very complecated.

Is it possible to convert MvieClip or Sprite to ByteArray???

I have a code to convert any swf file to bytesArray. and save it as a .txt file and again load this .txt file with all the properties.

 Below is my code, just copy paste it on the first frame.

loadSwf();//---------- loading external swf file and convert it to bytesArray and save it as a .txt file

//loadTxt();//---------loading the .txt file and display it on the stage with the original property.

function loadSwf():void {

var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray ();

var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

ldr.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sample.swf");

ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

ldr.load(req);

function completeHandler(e:Event):void {

bytes=ldr.data;

var s:String="";

for (var j : int = 0; j < bytes.length; j++) {

var n:String=bytes.readUnsignedByte().toString(16);

if (n.length<2) {

n="0"+n;

}

s+=n;

}

trace(s);

}

}

function loadTxt():void {

var ldr1:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var ldr:Loader=new Loader();

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfBytes.txt");

ldr1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler1);

ldr1.load(req);

function completeHandler1(e:Event):void {

var bA =new ByteArray ();

var data1:Array=ldr1.data.split("");

var data2:Array=[];

for (var i : int = 0; i < data1.length; i +=2) {

data2.push("0x"+data1 [i]+data1[i+1]);

}

for (var j : int = 0; j < data2.length; j ++) {

bA[j] = data2[j];

}

ldr = new Loader ();

//ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

ldr.loadBytes(bA);

addChild(ldr);

}

}

if you just want to convert movieclip or sprite to bytearray.....then
take the bitmap snapshot of movieclip ....convert to bytearray


LOOK HERE: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/filereference_class_as3/


this uses ByteArray with JPGEncoder class

no man I do't want the file as an image. Check my added code. then only you can understand it. I want to load the movieClip with all its property. so that I can re-edit the MovieCLip.
