Encryption in ActionScript 3

[ericl_nz@yahoo.co.]

Hi,

I wanted to encrypt / decrypt Strings in ActionScript 3 using SWFKit.Encryption from my Flex application. I'm trying to use SWFKit.Encryption.blowfishEncode but found some problems:

* Firstly, there is no such static method Encryption.blowfishEncode so I got a compilation error

* I tried new Encryption().blowfishEncode(key, string); this compiled but returned null.

* I looked at the stub ActionScript codes in the SWFKit classes 3 directory and it looks like the Encryption class has not been implemented. The SWFKit classes for ActionScript 2 looks like is doing something which suggests that it has been implemented.

Question: is Encryption class available at all in ActionScript 3? If so, what have I done wrong? If not, when is it going to be available?

Thanks
Eric

In actionscript 3 please do as follows

var enc = new SWFKit.Encryption;
enc.blowfishEncode(...);
...
enc.Release();

As base class of wrapper classes for actionscript 3 derives from the "Proxy" class, which supports to define methods and properties dynamically, you will have to first construct a new instance of a wrapper class, even if you only need to call a static method.

Many thanks. It actually works perfectly; I just forgot to run it from the generated exe but ran it straight from my flex app that's why it was always returning null.
