Great stuff. If copying and pasting the examples above to test them - just watch the typo in line 1 of the first example about encoding and decoding from String; should be util not utils

excellent stuff! This does exactly what i needed! Kudo’s for you!

very useful.. thanks!

I was kind of hoping there’d be one in as3corelib; but there isn’t. Thank you for sharing this

Hello,

Thanks for sharing this with the community, there is a typo in the first example;

var decoded:String = Base64.decode(source); trace(decoded);

Should say;

var decoded:String = Base64.decode(encoded); trace(decoded);

If found a small defect in the code as it stands…Fix included

According to the ITEF the decoder MUST ignore all characters not included in the enocde set.

Change the following lines in the decode routine: // While there are data bytes left to be processed for (var i:uint = 0; i < data.length; i += 4) { // Populate data buffer with position of Base64 characters for // next 4 bytes from encoded data for (var j:uint = 0; j < 4 && i + j < data.length; j++) { dataBuffer[j] = BASE64_CHARS.indexOf(data.charAt(i + j)); }

To this:

// While there are data bytes left to be processed for (var i:uint = 0; i < data.length; i += 4) { // Populate data buffer with position of Base64 characters for // next 4 bytes from encoded data and throw away the non-encoded characters. for (var j:uint = 0; j < 4 && i + j < data.length; j++) { dataBuffer[j] = BASE64_CHARS.indexOf(data.charAt(i + j)); while((dataBuffer[j] < 0) && (i < data.length)) { i++; dataBuffer[j] = BASE64_CHARS.indexOf(data.charAt(i + j)); } }

Thanks for the code it help out a lot!

thankx

[...] Oh, and I’m using Steve Websters base64 class for the map data I was talking about in the last post. and can be downloaded here http://dynamicflash.com/goodies/base64/ [...]

Just wanted to let you know that I’m using your Base64 class in a set of JavaScript-based AIR samples. Sounds strange, I know, but the pure JavaScript versions out there were incomplete and/or hard to use. You kept it simple with static methods.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This made my application work. There was some sort of bug going on with uncompress() method of ByteArray. But by encoding my compressed byte array before I stored my variable into the database, I was able to successfully uncompress it after I decoded it. Oh yeah I also had to escape and unescape the damn thing. Talk about confusing! But it worked thank you!

Oh I also wanted to tell you how much I was able to trim by combining compress and Base64 encode. Note: I am working on an LMS called CourseMill that URLEncodes everything, turned out to be in my favor.

Originally, I was just passing an XMLString, which was roughly 65000 characters long after it was URLEncoded. Then I tried compress(), which reduced it to a very small amount of characters, probably under 1000. But when I stored the compress var onto the LMS it was URLEncoded and shot up to around 33000 characters. The shining star here is the Base64 encoding which is 99.9% safe from URL Encoding. So after compressing AND encoding with Base64, my var was reduced to a 13000!!!

VERY COOL!!!

Thank you very much, this works very well to replace buggy AS3crypto command.

cheers for the base64 work. I needed to do some crazy flash data sending over localconnection, and it works a treat. (watching out for those sneaky localconnection size limits though!).

Wow! This really helped me out, great THANKS! I needed to decode something from base64 and your class is really clear and simple.

Thanks man!

Hi

I couldnt get this to work. Flex builder keeps giving me 1172: Definition com.dynamicflash2.util:Base64 could not be found.

But its there, I have tried both using the as file and the swc file.

So strange.

Hi

Can I use this without using Flex? I am using Flash CS3

hi, thanks for your work! anyway i’ve a problem: i want to encode (ok!) and then decode (not ok) an image and then visualize it. what must i do? how can i send my code? thanks

gr8 work maaan…..actually we can encode byteArray with help base64Encoder ans base64Decoder class….of flex…but the problem is the, i was using flex 3.0.0 version ,which gives problem on MAC for encoding……thanks for posting your work……u made my day….
