Hello, I am working on a flex project for my job, and we have seem to of hit a road block.
we have two parts to our project, one part which is written in AIR that is used to create case files, which is really just a zip with a XML file and 'assets', as in pictures, text, audio, video, hyperlinks, and whatever else we may want to use in the future The way the zip library we are using works is that we get the individual file information out of the zip by calling a function which returns a ByteArray representation of the data However, our problem is using the limitations of the Flash/Flex Web-browser plugin (not air) which does not have any of the file functions, so we cannot save the files we extract from the zip to the hard drive, (which we do with the AIR portion of the project), we are forced to keep them as ByteArrays. But, we are having problems with a part of our program which previews these assets, namely Audio and Video files in the browser, it appears that the VideoDisplay and Sound classes do not accept ByteArrays, but only streams or a URL....but we cannot give it a URL because we just don't have one, the files are in memory as a ByteArray object. Is there any cool way to convert a ByteArray into a Sound /VideoDisplay that anyone knows of? If not, we are going to have to resort to using an external php script to do the work of unzipping files on the server, which defeats the purpose of having it all in one file anyway. ~Mark
