Write data to xml...

[jatin_anand]

Hi there,
I am new to SWFKit. Need to know if there is any way to write data into XML file (just like in .txt file).

Pls. reply if you know how to do it.

Thnx in advance.

1. in the actionscript make a xml object and convert it to a string
2. in swfkit, get the value of the xml string

var xml = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.myXML");

3. write the string into a xml file

var name = Dialogs.fileSave("XML file(*.xml)|*.xml|");
if (name)
{
    var file = new FileStream(name, "w");
    file.writeLine('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>');
    file.writeLine(xml);
    file.close();
}

You can convert a ansi string to utf8 string if your xml contains special charactors

//convert a string to an utf8 encoded string stream
function toUTF8(string)
{
   var i;
   var stream = new StringStream;
   
   for (i = 0; i < string.length; i++)
   {
      var code = string.charCodeAt(i);
      
      if (code < (1 << 7))
      {
         stream.put(code);
      }
      else if (code < (1 << 11))
      {
         stream.put((code >> 6) | 0xC0);
         stream.put((code & 0x3F) | 0x80);
      }
      else if (code < (1 << 16))
      {
         stream.put(0xE0 | ((code >> 12) & 0x0F));
         stream.put(0x80 | ((code >> 6) & 0x3F));
         stream.put(0x80 | (code & 0x3F));
      }
      else if (code < (1 << 21))
      {
         stream.put((code >> 18) | 0xe0);
         stream.put(((code >> 12) & 0x3f) | 0x80);
         stream.put(((code >> 6) & 0x3f) | 0x80);
         stream.put((code & 0x3f) | 0x80);
      }
   }
   
   return stream;
}
