Unlimited transfer size using LocalConnection

Posted Tue, 03/02/2010 - 22:37 by Ionel

The LocalConnection object can be really helpful for local applications, since it allows multiple swf files to be connected between each other. You can transfer data and even call functions of another application. But it has a limitation, you can only transfer up to 40kb worth of data on each data transfer.

AS3 port of JZlib

Posted Thu, 07/16/2009 - 02:01 by Ionel

If you are one of those persons who like to work a lot with ByteArrays in Flash, you probably have noticed that the Flash Player (not AIR) doesn't have support for deflate in the ByteArray object. ByteArray ony can compress with the maximum compression level, and uncompress only if the compressed bytes have maximum compression. If you try to uncompress some bytes with another level of compression, you will get a runtime error.
