Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?

Hi Juan - I don't think it's assigning the string that's slow. It's calling sendAndLoad that is slow, because I think when you make the call the data is urlencoded or something. I've already found that, and am not calling it. I was simply outputting the before and after string lengths to see

Sounds a bit like Run Length Encoding Right, I mentioned that. :) I kept it simple to be able to reconstruct the image from it more easily in PHP. Gotta try the base64 thing next. Dave - Head Developer http://www.blurredistinction.com Adobe Community Expert

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?

Actually, from my tests (on the component I made, which was AS 3.0), the bottle neck was not encoding to base 64 per se (as I assumed at first), but assigning the resulting string to the LoadVars object (o URLRequest in my case...). If I commented out that specific line, it worked way faster; when

Hi all, I've been working on allowing users to dowload a jpeg from a movieClip in AS2 and came up with a simple, yet novel compression idea, that's a bit like RLE but not quite. Basically it is this - analyze the image pixel by pixel to get the hex color codes into an array. Then, make a new
