Take a snapshot of a DisplayObject rendered inside the Flash Player and have the byte array available for server side processing or for reuse inside the Flash application.

import com.adobe.images.*;
import com.dynamicflash.util.Base64;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;

function capture(target:DisplayObject, options:Object, format:String):void{

	var relative:DisplayObject = target.parent;

	var rect:Rectangle = target.getBounds(relative);
			
	var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(rect.width, rect.height);
			
	bitmapData.draw(relative, new Matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, -rect.x, -rect.y ));
			
	var byteArray:ByteArray;

	switch (format){
		
		case "JPG":
		var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(JPG_QUALITY_DEFAULT);
		byteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(bitmapData);
		break;
				
		case "PNG":
		byteArray = PNGEncoder.encode(bitmapData);
		break;

	}
			
	var byteArrayAsString:String = Base64.encodeByteArray(byteArray);

	// Send the data to the server

	

This function takes an input value and rounds it to the nearest value of the rTo parameter.

function roundTo(num:Number,rTo:Number):Number
{
	return Math.round(num / rTo) * rTo;
}

Occasionally there is a rounding error and you get a long string of decimals of 0's or 9's followed by another number. I can't figure out a way of changing this.

This can also be changed to floorTo or ceilTo depending on what you need.

//
class clases.Main
{
public static var mcMain : MovieClip = new MovieClip ();
//
//
// Constructor que activa la clase
//
public function Main (mainMC : MovieClip)
{
mcMain = mainMC;
}
//
//
// Capturar el XML de los productos
//
public function getXML () : Void
{

}

}

This function returns the full URL of the .swf file. Simple enough.

myUrl = getProperty("", _url );

Contains is an actionscript function that I use a lot. From Kirupa

contains = function (input, arrayData) {
  for (i=0; i<arrayData.length; i++) {
    if (arrayData[i] == input) {
      return 1;
    }
  }
  return -1;
};

A simple version of the explode() function in PHP. It takes a string and splits it up into an array by splitting it at whatever character (or characters) you specify. For example, reading in a tab delimited text file. Will split it into lines by splitting on returns ("\r"). Then split up the lines by splitting on tabs ("\t").

Attribution: I didn't write this myself, I found it in a comment on one of the Actionscript on-line documentation pages.

function explode(separator:String, string:String) {

	var list = new Array();

	if (separator == null) return false;
	if (string == null) return false;

	var currentStringPosition = 0;
	while (currentStringPosition<string.length) {
		var nextIndex = string.indexOf(separator, currentStringPosition);
		if (nextIndex == -1) break;
		var word = string.slice(currentStringPosition, nextIndex);
		list.push(word);
		currentStringPosition = nextIndex+1;
	}
	if (list.length<1) {
		list.push(string);
	} else {
		list.push(string.slice(currentStringPosition, string.length));
	}
	return list;
}

Here's a cheap little function to mimic the print_r() function from PHP in Actionscript. It's designed to work on most any array and will handle nested arrays through recursion.

//
// recursive function to print out the contents of an array similar to the PHP print_r() funciton
//
function print_a( obj, indent ) {
	if (indent == null) indent = "";
	var out = "";
	for ( item in obj ) {
		if (typeof( obj[item] ) == "object" )
			out += indent+"[" + item + "] => Object\n";
		else
			out += indent+"[" + item + "] => " + obj[item]+"\n";
		out += print_a( obj[item], indent+"   " );
	}
	return out;
}
// example call
trace( print_a( example_array ) );

This function will strip out all tabs and return characters. It will also collapse all runs of multiple spaces down to one. It will also remove a leading and trailing spaces. It is similar to the php_strip_whiespace() function in PHP.

function collapseWhiteSpace( theString ) {
	theString =  theString.split("\r").join("");
	theString =  theString.split("\t").join("");
	while ( theString.indexOf("  " ) != -1 ) {
		theString= theString.split("  ").join(" ");
	}
	if (theString.substr(0,1) == " ") {
		theString = theString.substr( 1 );
	}
	if (theString.substr( theString.length-1, 1 ) == " ") {
		theString = theString.substr( 0, theString.length - 1 );
	}
	return( theString );
}
