I think that this is the only solution for you, I'm afraid..]]> antoine schmitt BytesXtra Sat, 10 May 2008 22:26:57 +0200 http://www.schmittmachine.com/support/read.php?12,67,90#msg-90 http://www.schmittmachine.com/support/read.php?12,67,90#msg-90
I'm back, but this time with a question about the bytesxtra. I've been working on porting Todd Rundgren's smf player for fluidxtra to D11. His code uses the binaryio xtra, but I'm using fileio instead. I got everything working perfectly in D10 (fluidxtra is working out great for me, by the way), but I am having the obvious problem with bytes with the high bit set in D11. Somehow I should be able to use the bytesxtra to solve this problem, but I just don't understand how to use it (with fileio, at least though I've studied the bytesxtra api and demo movie). Could you show some sample code with the bytesxtra "in action"? Or, should I just be waiting for Valentin Schmidt to roll the bytes type into his binfile xtra code?

Thanks,

Peter]]> Peter Hesterman BytesXtra Sat, 10 May 2008 19:49:39 +0200 http://www.schmittmachine.com/support/read.php?12,67,67#msg-67 http://www.schmittmachine.com/support/read.php?12,67,67#msg-67
This was rendered necessary by the fact that since Director11, all strings are now Unicode and thus do not allow binary data storage, especially the byte '0'. With this new datatype, fully integrated to Director, binary data can be manipulated.
