AS3 - AIR - From a swf path file to a ByteArray

Question

I am coding an AIR application.

I've got directly a path of a swf file (because it was stored in a xml file). Do yo know if it is possible to get the ByteArray from this file ?

I know that FileReference do that very well, but this class need a select event. But it isn't my case because I've allready got my path.

Thanks a lot for your answers !

`FileReference.load()` can be caused only by certain user action (click, press) — www0z0k, Mar 18 '11 at 17:19

In AIR, you can read/write files directly using flash.filesystem.File and flash.filesystem.FileStream.

See, for example, this article.

Thank you for your answer! Here is my code: `var byteArray:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var swfFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(fullSWFPath); var stream:FileStream = new FileStream(); stream.open(swfFile, FileMode.READ); **stream.readBytes(byteArray);** stream.close();` – blackslam Mar 20 '11 at 11:49

however you can load it with URLStream and get a ByteArray with URLStream.readBytes()
