Re: reading bytearray from php into actionscript

[Greg Dove]

I don't really understand what you mean by :  "PHP won't print it after I
return AMF3 encoded binary."

However on the client (Royale) side, the toString method is the same as
reading UTF encoded string from the BinaryData instance. The current
version of mx.utils.ByteArray is not 'really' any different from
org.apache.royale.utils.BinaryData for javascript.

If you are expecting AMF3 encoded content then you probably want to decode
it (using readObject()) with an
org.apache.royale.net.remoting.amf.AMFBinaryData instance.

Also, iirc org.apache.royale.net.URLLoader assumes the data result is text.
You probably want a URLBinaryLoader instance instead I think, which would
give you a org.apache.royale.utils.BinaryData instance from its data getter
in the complete handler. if you are then expecting AMF3 content, then
probably you could do something similar to what you are doing with
'ByteArray' but substituting AMFBinaryData instead, but you would not be
using toString() in that case, you would more likely use readObject(). I am
not sure about the endian-ness setting.
