My Fault, sorry! I'd expected to retrieve an array, while the file stores 'DocumentFile' classes (appended one after another), that's wrong. First create array, add 'DocumentFile' object, save and later I have my array. Thanks for all your help!
Have a nice day. ____________________________________ Claudio M. E.

Maybe the stream isn't where you think it is in the file. Similarly, track the file size as you write it out and see if the numbers make sense. Also make sure your writeObject and readObject methods are correct. Maybe readObject is reading too many bytes. _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 4:04 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: writeObject() and readObject() I have control over the way the file is written (I'm creating and saving the file). I'm actually adding objects using FileMode.APPEND. So, the resulting file (simplified, and if you open it using notepad) is something like: s!com.DocumentFileidid55555 s!com.DocumentFileidid55556 s!com.DocumentFileidid55557 using (see my following code) FileStream.bytesAvailable I CAN read the data, but (following my example), I can assign only the LAST saved object. I'd like to retrieve all of them, and later assign it to an array, filter.. while(stream.bytesAvailable){ var aDoc:DocumentFile = stream.readObject() as DocumentFile;//only stores the last saved DocumentFile, no matter if I have other objects stored } ____________________________________ Claudio M.

If you don't have control over the way the file is written, it will be much harder. I don't know why if there are bytes available and it is a sequence of DocumentFiles that you can't just read them. Make sure you know what is really in the file. _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 2:54 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: writeObject() and readObject() Alex, many thanks for your responses. I'd like to use the array's 'push' method, but I'm loading the objects from a file, while the filestream has bytesavailable, like this: while(stream.bytesAvailable){ _whatshouldIuseHere = stream.readObject() as DocumentFile;// var aDoc:DocumentFile = stream.readObject() as DocumentFile;//only stores the last saved DocumentFile, no matter if I have other objects stored } The question should be: given a file, that stores some objects saved in AMF format. What can I do to retrieve each object, filter? ____________________________________ Claudio M. E.

Normally, if you know how many you are going to write, you would do: arr.push(someDocumentFile); arr.push(someOtherDocumentFile); var numFiles:int = arr.length; writeObject(numFiles); for (var i:int = 0; I < numFiles, i++) writeObject(arr[i]); And read it back like this: Arr = []; Var numFiles; numFiles = readObject(); for (var i:int = 0; I < numFiles, i++) arr.push(readObject()); If you don't know, how many, you might want to use a tagged file format _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claudio M.

But forgive If I don't realize: how could I read the fileStream in that way? Right now I read it this way: while(stream.bytesAvailable){ arr = stream.readObject() as DocumentFile;//bad cast } I also tried this: arr[0] = stream.readObject() as DocumentFile;//assigns the last DocumentFile saved in the file.. ____________________________________ Claudio M.
