This year I have a session at Max Milan called “Complex Data Manipulation With Actionscript 3.0”. The title is a bit missleading because rather then showing how complex it is I want to show you how simple it is
In this session I want to cover aspects of working with files and streams in AIR and the Flash Player and take a look into how to manipulate those files by using the ByteArray class.
My current plan goes like this:
Overview of how file manipulation/analyzation is used in the Parleys Publisher/Player.
From there I extract some samples that will be discussed in detail (code).
- Implementing Resumable downloads
- Donwload videos while playing the partial loaded data
- Analyzing an flv file to find out keyframe positions – using this information creatively
- Loading a mp3 file reading the wave curve – mixing sounds and and save the result as .wav
So my question: Is this stuff interesting for you? What are you missing? What of the above examples interests you most/less? If you`re coming to MAX Milan and if you`re interested in this topic this is your chance to make sure the session will be relevant for you 😉
Sure it`s hard to cover all this in just 50 min but it`s meant to be an inspiring session which gives you an idea of the possibilities and to take away possible fear that this stuff is too difficult – it really isn`t!
If the topic is interesting to you I would love you to register for it!
I had to cancel my presentation due to time constraints which is really a shame
Anyway I wish you all agreat MAX – and i´ll make sure I use my planned session material for some more blog posts.

This sounds very interesting to me. I wish someone could fly me out for your session.
I agree with joshspoon…this does sound very interesting.
I will be one of four from my company flying to Milan this year so will hopefully hear you speak.
Benz dude!
Damned. Will you be at Max? I was hoping to see you there… We need to catch up on deciding who is the best drummer on the planet.
Hey Wim,

Dude you’re a big show off with that new drumkit you know that!
And for sure an electronic drumkit is very practical and all… but it’s so 1.0 isn’t it
Benz it’s a shame you won’t be at Max, I will miss you, but keep it up dude!
Cheers.
