Hi,
I'm trying to get AS3 to parse an IFF file, more specifically the EA IFF 85 file format, using the byteArray. For now the best documentation I've found is this link http://www.martinreddy.net/gfx/2d/IFF.txt and a C script called IFFDigest. Now since I've never done anything in C, there are some sections in the code which aren't exactly clear, for example : /* ID typedef and builder for 68000 Lattice C. */ typedef LONG ID; /* 4 chars in ' ' through '~' */ #define MakeID(a,b,c,d) ( (a)<<<<24 | (b)<<<<16 | (c)<<<<8 | (d) ) /* Globally reserved IDs. */ #define ID_FORM MakeID('F','O','R','M') #define ID_LIST MakeID('L','I','S','T') #define ID_PROP MakeID('P','R','O','P') #define ID_CAT MakeID('C','A','T',' ') #define ID_FILLER MakeID(' ',' ',' ',' ') >>> What is should do is take the string 'FORM' and convert it to an ID, how would this translate to AS3? Should anyone know where to find more useful info on this, please let me know :-) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
