Question

I read a file’s content into a byte array using the following code:

  public var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
  var primaryfile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("data/updates/assets/"+this.assetvideoid+"/"+this.assetdetails[0]['filename']);
  var tempfile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("data/updates/assets/"+this.assetvideoid+"/"+this.assetdetails[0]['filename']+"-temp");
  filestream = new FileStream();
  filestream.open(primaryfile, FileMode.READ);
  filestream.readBytes(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
  filestream.close();

Is it possible to remove some initial bytes from a bytearray say 30 bytes from the beginning?

Answer 1

filestream.open(primaryfile, FileMode.READ);
filestream.readBytes(bytes, 30, bytes.length - 30);
filestream.close();
