ByteArray

bytesAvailable: Number

read-only

Get the number of bytes left until the end of the byte array.

length: Number

native

Return the length in bytes of this ByteArray.

position: Number

Set the current position of the byte array.

clear (): Void

native

Clears the contents of the byte array and resets the length and position properties to 0.

compress (): Void

native

Compress the ByteArray data with the zlib compression algorithm. The ByteArray gets resized to the compressed size of the data.

getFullTypeName (): String
Inherited from Object

native

Gets the fully qualified type name of the Object. The fully qualified type name includes the package of the type.

getType (): Type
Inherited from Object

native

Gets the Type that describes the Object.

getTypeName (): String
Inherited from Object

native

Gets the type name of the Object.

readBoolean (): Boolean

native

Reads a Boolean value from the byte stream.

A single byte is read, returning true for non-zero values, false otherwise.

readByte (): Number

native

Reads a signed byte from the byte stream.

The returned value is in the range -128 to 127.

readBytes ( bytes: ByteArray , offset: Number = 0 , length: Number = 0 ): Number

native

Reads the number of data bytes, specified by the length parameter, from the byte stream. The bytes are read into the ByteArray object specified by the bytes parameter, and the bytes are written into the destination ByteArray starting at the position specified by offset.

readDouble (): Number

native

Reads an IEEE 754 double-precision (64-bit) floating-point number from the byte stream.

readFloat (): Number

native

Reads an IEEE 754 single-precision (32-bit) floating-point number from the byte stream.

readInt (): Number

native

Reads a signed 32-bit integer from the byte stream.

The returned value is in the range -2147483648 to 2147483647.

readShort (): Number

native

Reads a signed 16-bit integer from the byte stream.

The returned value is in the range -32768 to 32767.

readString (): String

native

Reads a UTF-8 string from the byte stream. The string is assumed to be prefixed with an unsigned int indicating the length in bytes.

readUTF (): String

native

Reads a UTF-8 string from the byte stream. The string is assumed to be prefixed with an unsigned short indicating the length in bytes.

readUTFBytes ( length: Number ): String

native

Reads a length amount of UTF-8 string bytes from the byte stream.

readUnsignedByte (): Number

native

Reads an unsigned byte from the byte stream.

The returned value is in the range 0 to 255.

readUnsignedInt (): Number

native

Reads an unsigned 32-bit integer from the byte stream.

The returned value is in the range 0 to 4294967295.

readUnsignedShort (): Number

native

Reads an unsigned 16-bit integer from the byte stream.

The returned value is in the range 0 to 65535.

reserve ( bytes: Number ): Void

native

Reserves the number of bytes specified.

This does not set the ByteArray's size, it just reserves the desired capacity to avoid memory thrashing when writing to the ByteArray.

setPosition ( value: Number ): Void

native

Moves the current position of the file pointer (in bytes) into the ByteArray object.

This is the point at which the next call to a read method starts reading or a write method starts writing.

toString (): String
Inherited from Object

native

Returns a String that describes the Object. This can be overriden to provide extra details when printing objects using trace().

uncompress ( uncompressedSize: Number = 0 , maxBuffer: Number = 262144 ): Void

native

Uncompress zlib or gzip compressed data. uncompressedSize is equivalent to initialSize due to legacy code. If not specified, initialSize will be used and ByteArray will be truncated to the actual size of the data. If the uncompressed data size doesn't fit in initialSize bytes, the buffer gets resized until it does.

writeBoolean ( value: Boolean ): Void

native

Writes a Boolean value.

A single byte is written according to the value parameter, either 1 if true or 0 if false.

writeByte ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes a byte to the byte stream.

The low 8 bits of the parameter are used. The high 24 bits are ignored.

writeBytes ( bytes: ByteArray , offset: Number = 0 , length: Number = 0 ): Void

native

Writes a sequence of length bytes from the specified byte array, bytes, starting offset(zero-based index) bytes into the byte stream.

If the length parameter is omitted, the default length of 0 is used; the method writes the entire buffer starting at offset. If the offset parameter is also omitted, the entire buffer is written.

writeDouble ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes an IEEE 754 double-precision (64-bit) floating-point number to the byte stream.

writeFloat ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes an IEEE 754 single-precision (32-bit) floating-point number to the byte stream.

writeInt ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes a 32-bit signed integer to the byte stream.

writeShort ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes a 16-bit integer to the byte stream.

writeString ( value: String ): Void

native

Writes a UTF-8 string to the byte stream. The length of the UTF-8 string in bytes is written first, as a 32-bit integer, followed by the bytes representing the characters of the string

writeUTF ( value: String ): Void

native

Writes a UTF-8 string to the byte stream. The length of the UTF-8 string in bytes is written first, as a 16-bit integer, followed by the bytes representing the characters of the string

writeUTFBytes ( value: String ): Void

native

Writes a UTF-8 string to the byte stream. This function only writes the bytes representing the characters of the string.

writeUnsignedByte ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes a byte to the byte stream.

writeUnsignedInt ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes a 32-bit unsigned integer to the byte stream.

writeUnsignedShort ( value: Number ): Void

native

Writes a 16-bit integer to the byte stream.
