something is going wrong:
array dataFromFile is initialized with following code(and indeed when I trace it does output correct file content)"
var dataFromFile:Array;
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
dataLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
dataLoader.load(new URLRequest("Data.txt"));
}
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
dataFromFile = e.target.data.split(/\n/);
trace(dataFromFile);
}
var dataFromFile:Array;
var sectionToLook:String = "[GAME]";
trace(dataFromFile[i1].toLowerCase());
trace(sectionToLook.toLowerCase());
trace("are equal:" + (dataFromFile[i1].toLowerCase() == sectionToLook.toLowerCase()));
trace("the type of data is:" + typeof(dataFromFile[i1]));
trace("the type of sectionData is:" + typeof(sectionToLook));
And the output I'm getting:
[game]
[game]
are equal:false
the type of data is:string
the type of sectionData is:string
How on earth is this possible that two identical strings compare as not equal?

I'm trying to do a check to see if the user has a local file. If the user does, I get bloodycrypto to make a md5 out of it. Then I compare the two values. One from the firebase file's metadata and the other from the byte array of the file digested. They never match. Does Firebase do something different when trying to generate the md5 of a file I upload?
private function handleMetaSuccess(e:StorageReferenceEvent):void
{
trace("Meta succes for reference:" + this.name);
storageMetaData = e.metadata;
trace("reading file.");
fileBA = new ByteArray();
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(Definitions.CACHE_DIRECTORY.resolvePath(name + ".jpg"), FileMode.READ)
fs.readBytes(fileBA);
fs.close();
var byteHash:String = MD5.hashBytes(fileBA)
trace("Local hash = " + byteHash); //93b885adfe0da089cdf634904fd59f71
trace("Network hash = " + storageMetaData.md5Hash); //bo7XPotC+T5wmAcpagnXBw==
if (byteHash != storageMetaData.md5Hash)
{
trace("Not equal. Getting file."); //Always happens
getFile();
}
else
{
loadFile();
}
}
Upon closer inspetion (thanks to Organis) firebase doesn't return a proper MD5. What is it? In my storage consol I don't see an md5 property, so is this autogenerated? The files were uploaded through my rest API based off phantom's guide.
Update: Following Organis' comment about the way Firebase handle's MD5s
var byteHash:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
byteHash.writeUTFBytes(MD5.hashBytes(fileBA));
var byteHashWithLength:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
byteHashWithLength.writeUTF(MD5.hashBytes(fileBA));
trace("Bytehash with length = " + Base64.encode(byteHashWithLength)); //ACAyMTMzYTdmYjczYTEzZDQ3ZDkzMTEyY2I1OWQyYTBmMg==
trace("Plain = " + Base64.encode(byteHash)); //OTNiODg1YWRmZTBkYTA4OWNkZjYzNDkwNGZkNTlmNzE=
trace("Storage md5 = " + storageMetaData.md5Hash); //UsoNl5sL1+aLiAhTOTBXyQ==
Trying to take the md5 I get and turn it into base64 results in consistent mismatching results. Is there an argument I am missing or applying incorrectly when I try to decode everything?
...So I would do something like
var storageHash:String = Base64.decode(storageMetaData.md5Hash).toString();
to follow your example right?
Try this code below to get your storageMetaData.md5Hash correctly decoded from Base64 :
Let me know result of trace("storage hash : " + storageHash); to check if you're getting an (expected) sequence of 32 hex values.
private function handleMetaSuccess(e:StorageReferenceEvent):void
{
trace("Meta succes for reference:" + this.name);
storageMetaData = e.metadata;
trace("reading file.");
fileBA = new ByteArray();
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(Definitions.CACHE_DIRECTORY.resolvePath(name + ".jpg"), FileMode.READ)
fs.readBytes(fileBA);
fs.close();
var byteHash:String = MD5.hashBytes(fileBA); //Local hash
var ba_storageHash:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba_storageHash = Base64.decode(storageMetaData.md5Hash); //update ByteArray
var storageHash:String = bytesToHexString(ba_storageHash); //Hex values of bytes shown as String
trace("Network hash : " + storageMetaData.md5Hash); //bo7XPotC+T5wmAcpagnXBw==
trace("Local hash : " + byteHash); //93b885adfe0da089cdf634904fd59f71
trace("storage hash : " + storageHash); //what is result??
if (byteHash != storageHash)
{
trace("Not equal. Getting file."); //Always happens
getFile();
}
else
{
loadFile();
}
}
// # Byte values (Hex) shown as (returned) String type
private function bytesToHexString(input:ByteArray) : String
{
var strOut:String = ""; var strRead:String = "";
input.position = 0;
var intBASize:uint = input.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < intBASize; i++)
{
strRead = input.readUnsignedByte().toString(16);
if(strRead.length < 2) { strRead = "0" + strRead; } //# do padding
strOut += strRead ;
}
return strOut.toLowerCase(); //strOut.toUpperCase();
}
I've got this AS3 code :
var myString:String;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.swellmap.co.nz/ajr.php?r=plugin&a=Surfing&s=Anse%20Vata&country=nz&swellmap=1&country=ncd&swellmap=1&_=1460963404274");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,weatherLoaded);
function weatherLoaded(e:Event):void{
myString = e.target.data;
trace(myString); //output is {"tides":"High: 05:40 am (1.32 m); Low: 12:10 pm (0.57 m); High: 06:10 pm (1.19 m); ","seatemp":"27°C","forecastdate":"17h","rating":"<img src='http:\/\/www.swellmap.co.nz\/style\/img\/weathericons\/1r.png' alt='Poor conditions' title='Poor conditions' \/>","rating_class":"<span class='badge badge-important' alt='Poor conditions' title='Poor conditions'>1<\/span>","summary":"<img class='wx-summary' src='http:\/\/www.swellmap.co.nz\/style\/img\/weathericons\/suncloud.png' title='Sunny with some cloud' \/>","title":"Anse Vata","smaplink":"http:\/\/www.swellmap.co.nz\/surfing\/new-caledonia\/anse-vata","vars":{"hs_sw":{"value":"0.4","title":"Swell","unit":"m"},"hs":{"value":"0.6","title":"Wave","unit":"m"},"wface":{"value":"0.8","title":"Set face","unit":"m"},"tp":{"value":"13","title":"Period","unit":"s"},"dpm":{"value":"S","title":"Swell dir","unit":"°"},"windma":{"value":"E 12","title":"Wind","unit":"kts"},"gstma":{"value":"16","title":"Gusts","unit":"kts"}}}
var myData : Object = JSON.parse(e.target.data);
for each (var s:* in myData) { trace("key:",s,"value:",myData[s]); }
trace(myData); }
My String is containing lots of infos.
How could I take specifics informations ?
Exemple:
If I want to take the swell (in this example, the swell is : "0.4 m # 13 s"). How could I do that? (the purpose is to displays it in a text box like that :
function(searchTheSwell){
var swell_AnseVata;
swell_AnseVata =.... ?
info_txt.text = swell_AnseVata;
}
Thx
Just set a breakpoint after you parse the data and examine the myData in the debugger - you will see the object structure. Or just trace the whole object structure out:
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(myData));
In your case you'd need to put your string together out of the vars in your object:
var hs_sw:Object = myData.vars.hs_sw;
var tp:Object = myData.vars.tp;
trace(hs_sw.value + " " + hs_sw.unit + " # " + tp.value + " " + tp.unit);
I have a json object coming from my java code as string :
{
"ABC":["ABC","XYZ","pqr"],
"OMG":["ABC","XYZ","pqr"],
"Hello":["ABC","XYZ","pqr"]
}
on decoding it as
myObj : Object = JSON.decode(result);
Now how do I access key names like ABC, OMG, HELLO...??
Try this will help you.
When you want properties in object use for-in loop or you want value use foreach statement.
var obj:Object = {
"ABC":["ABC","XYZ","pqr"],
"OMG":["ABC","XYZ","pqr"],
"Hello":["ABC","XYZ","pqr"]
};
var jsonText:String = JSON.stringify(obj);
var jsonObj:Object = JSON.parse(jsonText);
for(var key:String in jsonObj){
Alert.show("Key is"+key + " value is "+ jsonObj[key]);
}
Your case exactly
var myObj:Object = JSON.decode(result);
for(var key:String in myObj){
Alert.show("Key is"+key + " value is "+ myObj[key]);
}
I have that code:
private function handleFlashVarsXmlLoaded(event:Event) : void
{
var secondsplit:String = null;
var item:Array = null;
var string:* = XML(String(event.target.data));
var notsplited:* = string.vars_CDATA; //what is .vars_CDATA?
var splitted:* = notsplitted.split("&");
var datacontainer:Object = {};
var index:Number = 0;
item = secondsplit.split("=");
datacontainer[item[0]] = item[1];
this.parseFlashVars(datacontainer); // go next
return;
}
That function is loaded when URLLoader is loaded.
I think that this function parse a XML file to string(fe. param1=arg1¶m2=arg2), then split it by "&" and then by "=" and add data to datacontainer by
datacontainer["param1"] = "arg1"
But how should the XML file look like and what is string.vars_CDATA
I think, vars_CDATA is just a name of XML field, becourse variable named "string" is contains whole XML. So var "notsplited" contains a String-typed data of this field (I think so, becourse of the line "var splitted:* = notsplitted.split("&");", which splits String to Array).
I'm trying to load a txt file of variables into my AS3 project. The problem I have though seems to be down to the fact that the txt file (which is pre formatted and cannot be changed) is formatted using double amphersands... e.g.
&name=mark&
&address=here&
&tel=12345&
I'm using the following code to load the txt file
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded, false, 0, true);
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
urlRqSend = new URLRequest(addressToTxt.txt);
public function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
trace(myLoader.data);
}
Using URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES generates the following error:
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
If I use URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT I can load the data successfully but I'm not able (or don't know how to) access the variables.
Would anyone have any ideas or work arounds to this please.
Thanks,
Mark
I had that kind of problem some time ago.
I suggest you to load first as a text, remove those line breaks, the extra amphersands and parse manually:
var textVariables:String;
var objectVariables:Object = new Object();
...
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded, false, 0, true);
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
urlRqSend = new URLRequest(addressToTxt.txt);
public function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
textVariables = myLoader.data;
textVariables = textVariables.split("\n").join("").split("\r").join(""); // removing line breaks
textVariables = textVariables.split("&&").join("&"); // removing extra amphersands
var params:Array = textVariables.split('&');
for(var i:int=0, index=-1; i < params.length; i++)
{
var keyValuePair:String = params[i];
if((index = keyValuePair.indexOf("=")) > 0)
{
var key:String = keyValuePair.substring(0,index);
var value:String = keyValuePair.substring(index+1);
objectVariables[key] = value;
trace("[", key ,"] = ", value);
}
}
}
I wrote that code directly here, I don't have any AS3 editor here, so, maybe you'll find errors.
If you have data in String and it has a structure just like you wrote, you can do a workaround:
dataInString = dataInString.split("\n").join("").split("\r").join(""); // removing EOL
dataInString = dataInString.slice(0,-1); // removing last "&"
dataInString = dataInString.slice(0,1); // removing first "&"
var array:Array = dataInString.split("&&");
var myVariables:Object = new Object();
for each(var item:String in array) {
var pair:Array = item.split("=");
myVariables[pair[0]] = pair[1];
}
That should make you an object with proper variables.
