Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
I haven't used amfphp extensively, but it might be a problem in the type
of data amfphp expects... I'm not sure this is a good idea:
ba.toString()
As with a JPG you'll sure get lots of 0's in the ByteArray; parsed as a char
in a string, a 0 value is what's known as an embedded null, which
traditionally is used to signal the end of the string, so probably at some
point the data is being truncated.
Maybe if you just send the ByteArray object, amfphp will figure out the type
of the object and will be able to deserialize it correctly. I think that's
the whole idea behind amfphp, it automatically serializes and deserializes
native objects using the amf format.

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
Hi,
You can't save an image from Flash without a server side script...
Mario's example sends an image to the server, then uses
FileReference to download it, or something similar. If you want to
store the image data, you would need to have 2 scripts - one to format
it nicely and then put it in the database - Mario's script saves to a
temporary file, you need to save the data to your DB here and get the id
back. The other one which takes in an ID of the data in the database
and then echoes out headers and the data which means your browser /
Flash will see an image.
Mario's example PHP script is pretty chunky and not very easy to see
where you would split the two bits of functionality, but instead of
writing a temporary image file, you would store your data in a database
and return the mysql_insert_id() to Flash, or similar.
Then you can use this ID to retrieve the image using a second
script. Provided you have encoded your JPG nicely, you can splurge it
out - here are some searches that may help, but the basic principle is
that you can do something like this:
?php
ob_start();
$error = false;
$data = null;
//You would need to write these functions the ob_start ob_end
stops you getting errors...
$id = sanitizeUserInput($_REQUEST['imageid']); // should return
a nice number for your database ID, or FALSE if you have a problem
if(FALSE === $id) {
$error = true;
} else {
$data = readDataFromDB($id); //should output your data as an
entire JPEG file or return FALSE if you have a problem.
}
if(FALSE === $data) {
$error = true;
}
ob_end_clean();
if(false == $error) {
header(Content-type: image/jpeg);
echo $data;
} else {
header(HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found);
}
exit();
?

Hope this helps a bit - it's a long time since I did any image
manipulation in PHP, so apologies if the answers are a bit vague, but there
are loads of examples out there for this.

Hi,
There are a few examples on the www about sending Bitmap data to the
server Mario's is a good starting point -

other
examples about which do compression/decompression on your data so you
could
save it into your DB too..
Hope this is useful

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
With the newest player, I think, it's possible to save data into the USER's hard drive without a trip to the server, but you want to store the data on the server side, you need to send it to the server... You have to post that data using a URLLoader object, and specifying the input as binary data. I've wrapped up some code to do that and being able to pass variables as well. If you want to check it out: http://pastebin.com/f11a897cf (Sorry, comments are in Spanish, but the indentifiers are in English) A example of use (it's a copy paste from some wortking code, just to give you an idea): import ar.com.califa010.utils.FormData; // getEncodedImg() is a method that returns a JPG as a byteArray var rawJpg:ByteArray = getEncodedImg(); var formData:FormData = new FormData(); var imageMimeType:String = FormData.JPG_FILE; var fileName:String = imageFile.jpg; formData.addFile(imageFile, rawJpg, fileName, imageMimeType); formData.addField(sFormat,imgFormat); formData.addField(idImagen,_idImagen); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); req.method = POST; req.contentType = formData.contentType; req.data = formData.getPostData(); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); configureListeners(loader); loader.load(req); 2008/8/15, Omar Fouad [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I see, all those tutorials shows how to save the image on the Hard Drive (now with flash player is possible to do this without any server side script).

Glen, thanks for your help, I actually wanna store the Image in a mysql database and not uploading it somewhere in my server. You'll still need to upload it to your server first.

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
Yes. Using that particular class I mentioned, from the php side you'd receive the data like a regular html form post with multipart-encode, that means, you can retrieve the text variables you want to send with $_POST['someVar'] and the file (or files) with $_FILES['varName'] (or the name you choose). Treat it like if it were a html form. To add a text field to the form use the add addField(varName,varValue) method; to add a file, use addFile(varName, jpgByteArray, originalFileName, imageMimeType); For originalFileName, use whatever you want, like image.jpg, it doesn't really matter. That's what you'll get with $_FILES['varName']['name']. For the imageMimeType, use the constant in the class for JPG.

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
You can use the getPixels() method of the BitmapData class to get the raw pixel data as a ByteArray. Using setPixels() you can fill a BitmapData object with data from a ByteArray. You can post / retrieve that data from a server using a URLRequest object, specifying that you want to use a binary format. The problem of this approach, I think, is that it'd consume a lot of bandwith (unless you have really small images). Each pixel takes 4 bytes. In a 400 x 400 image, that's 16 pixels and so 64 bytes or 625 Kb.

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
Well, that depends on the picture, but yes, generaly you'd load a jpg, png, etc, which are compressed formats. For instance, right now I'm seeing a 466 x 468 jpg. Its size is 34 Kb. Bear in mind that the compression ratio varies depending on the actual image and the compression rate / algorithm applied, not only the dimensions, but definitely, the dimensions weigh in. Taking that same image in a raw format (i.e. no compression applied), which is basically what you're doing when you copy the bitmap data into a ByteArray, you would need 857.352 bytes to store it (466 * 468 * 4). So, that's 851 Kb agains 34 Kb, a really significant difference. Probably, a more feasible approach would be encoding the raw pixel data to jpg or png in the swf, and then send that to the server (after that, it's just a regular jpg or png, so you can load it as any other image). It'd put more stress on the swf side, but the download/upload times and server load would be dramatically cut down. Check this link, it has a tutorial for doing precisely that. http://henryjones.us/articles/using-the-as3-jpeg-encoder Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/8/14, Omar Fouad [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You mean it is not the same bandwidith taken as when loading the picture from a directory in a server?

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
Compress it to a PNG or a JPEG - these formats will output a tidy ByteArray for you. If you don't have AMF or trouble with writing HTTP Post headers, you can always pack it into a Base64 encoded string. Use Loader.loadBytes() to load it. This is in fact synchronous but occurs asynchronously. I don't even think it's worth listening for the result. Loader.content should be a Bitmap object...
