Vector.<IGraphicsData> in a file

Hello,

I need to serialize Vector.<IGraphicsData> returned by readGraphicsData() in a file ?

Thanks.

You can serialize it natively if you want to like this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16500853/how-to-save-graphics-created-by-the-as3-drawing-api-to-local-disk-and-then-reope
The second answer there is writing to a shared object but you can write to a file if you want, I have done this many times with good success, the key is ensuring you registerCallAlias on any class you wish to serialize/deserialize.

I would just make a simple strategy impl that switched on the type:

Each one has an impl using read(bytes:ByteArray, data:IGraphicsData)/write(bytes:ByteArray, data:IGraphicsData) and then in those classes just write to a byte array all the properties you want.

This way at the end of iterating all the IGraphicsData instances, you have a binary stream of their instance headers and properties.

.. one way 🙂

Thanks, I have missed registerClassAlias().

An other question, it-it possible to convert Vector.<IGraphicsData> to SVG ? thanks

I tried to create a class to export a vector shape to SVG here.
All features aren't implemented.

Yeah, don't think it's too difficult, I threw something together with some code I found online pretty easily. In the end it was easier to just use Animate's built in spritesheet exporter, but it depends on what you need the assets for, of courese.
