Re: [Flashcoders] How to remove bytes from the beginning of a ByteArray?

In my desperation I've asked the same question in a german and a russian forum last night. And where do I find the useful replies in the morning? This mailing list is priceles :-) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chat

private var buffer:ByteArray; private function onData(event:ProgressEvent):void { socket.readBytes(buffer, buffer.length); var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); buffer.readBytes(bytes, 0, messageLength); buffer.position = bytes.length; trim(); // deserialize the message i

Re: [Flashcoders] How to remove bytes from the beginning of a ByteArray?

Hi, You've got the source / destination backwards. readBytes reads *from* the object on which the method is called. And it writes *to* the ByteArray you pass in the first parameter. So this: var newBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); newBA.readBytes(_ba); _ba = newBA; Is copying data *from* newBA

Hello, sorry, but I'll try to start another thread to explain my problem. I read data from a socket into a ByteArray _ba and keep inspecting it. When there is enough data, I'd like to extract and process it and remove the processed bytes from the _ba. Here is how I try to do the removal, but it
