Please Help reading Base64 encoded String

[dmennenoh]

I write a Base64 encoded string to disk using:

function saveFile(file, name)
{
var f = new FileStream("images\\" + name, "w");
f.write(file);
f.close();
}

Where file is the encoded string. This works perfect.

My problem is I’m so far unable to simply read the string back in and pass it back to Flash.

I have tried:

function getFile(name)
{
var f = new FileStream("images\\" + name, "r");
var b = f.read(f.length);
return f;
}

And this returns like 2 bytes…

So I tried StringStream like:

function getFile(name)
{
var f = StringStream.readFromFile("images\\" + name);
return f;
}

And this does nearly the same thing.

I have a pressing deadline and really need to get this to work. Someone please give me a hand.
