Hi,
I would like to store binary encoded data inside my project
(delivered cross platform), for delivery to the customers.
Maybe a bit more explanation.
In upgrading our software we are switching from Adobe Director to RB.
This update will be gradually, meaning that one program will already
be in RB format while the other component will still be in Director
format.
In the Director version of our "Coach" program we have a logo stored
inside an Arca Database (which is a sqlite format, no real problems
there). However we have used Director's proprietary Image format to
insert the picture info in the database blob field.
I have found this workaround but obviously I'm looking for something
better:
1) we created through Director a logo database (1 table, 1 blob
field) with the image data inside the blob field
2) I can read the info into a RB variable of type variant
3) I can write the variant to another db created with RB and have the
image data readable for another Director application ("Student")
In order to not having to send an external file (the logo db) I am
looking for a way to store the variant variable inside my project as
a Constant (The image data doesn't have to change).
So the question is:
Can I store the binaryencoded string (I don't know what encoding has
been used) inside my project in such a way that when distributed the
data can be copied back to newly created databases, or do I need to
enclose the logo db with my project?
I hope the story is clear enough...
TIA
Bart Pietercil
