Question

I have a URLLoader which normally requesting the data to be in Text format, anyway on a specific conditions it might gets a Binary as result, which is actually just 1 integer number in binary format. Anyway the conversation :

var ba : ByteArray = ( e.currentTarget as URLLoader ).data; // failing on this row.
var r : int = ba.readInt();

doesnt passing anymore since the result data is in text forma due the request header…

• How to convert the result data into integer ?

Answer 1

Simply, you need to change

urlLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY

But before you send a request. After, there’s no point doing that.

EDIT

To read text into a binary (ByteArray)

var ba:ByteArray=new ByteArray();
ba.writeUTFBytes(( e.currentTarget as URLLoader ).data);
ba.position=0;
var myInteger:int=ba.readInt();
