Extension request: Array with predefined data

[SoftWarewolf]

Which extension can i use to retrieve binary data embedded into a flash exported application?

The "binary file temporary filename" expression doesn't work. Neither does the extract and release binary file actions.

None of these are supported in Flash. The binary embedding functionality can only be used by an extension to read embedded binary files. There isn't anywhere to extract them to.

which extension is that?

[ferack]

He means any extension can read it's own local embedded binary files local to the extension, for the extension's own use. The data isn't directly available to, or changeable by, the mmf2 user. Basically, you would need write you own extension to get access to your custom data - but this is really beyond the scope of the OP's question/request.

Well, actually i just tried loading the array from binary and it worked.

I just did load array from file: binary filename
and it loaded the array.

And basicly as i have understood that's what the request was about.

[ferack]

Just to be clear, you did that in compiled flash?

[Skyhunter]

yes

[SoftWarewolf]

uhm.. no, that doesn't work, if it did i would be very happy

[Skyhunter]

Are you sure, cause it works for me.

Make sure you enter the full filename when loading the array.

C:\Whatnot\file

to be exactly same as it says in data elements.

Ah... It's getting it from your computer, not from inside the compiled flash.
