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.
