Today, i faced a weird problem of fileReference.load() not working in AIR. Even, in the latest 3.3 SDK. To resolve that, you have to install Flex Builder Update. Then, modify your App.xml into air version 1.5. As, to get the benefits of latest AIR Version.
Otherwise, in AIR: Code gets compiled but when we select a file from system, it throws a error.
Utility functions to find First Day of a month, Relative Date information like “Today”, “Yesterday”
public static function getFirstDayofMonth(fullyear:uint,month:uint):uint
{
var tmp:Date = new Date(fullyear,month,1);
return tmp.getDay();
}public static function isLeapYear( fullyear:uint ):Boolean
{
var flag:Boolean = false;
if(((fullyear%4==0) && (fullyear%100!=0)) || (fullyear%400==0)) flag = true;
return flag;
}public static function getWeekName( index:uint , type:uint=0 ):String
{
var week:Array;
if(type==0) week = [“SUNDAY”,”MONDAY”,”TUSEDAY”,”WEDNESDAY”,”THURSDAY”,”FRIDAY”,”SATURDAY”];
else if(type==1) week = [“SUN”,”MON”,”TUE”,”WED”,”THU”,”FRI”,”SAT”];
else week = [“Sun”,”Mon”,”Tue”,”Wed”,”Thu”,”Fri”,”Sat”];
return week[index];
}public static function getMonthName( index:uint , type:uint=0 ):String
{
var month:Array;
if(type==0) month = [“JANUARY”,”FEBRUARY”,”MARCH”,”APRIL”,”MAY”,”JUNE”,”JULY”,”AUGUST”,”SEPTEMBER”,”OCTOBER”,”NOVEMBER”,”DECEMBER”];
else if(type==1) month = [“jan”,”feb”,”mar”,”apr”,”may”,”jun”,”jul”,”aug”,”sep”,”oct”,”nov”,”dec”];
else month = [“Jan”,”Feb”,”Mar”,”Apr”,”May”,”Jun”,”Jul”,”Aug”,”Sep”,”Oct”,”Nov”,”Dec”];
return month[index];
}public static function getRelativeDateName( date:Date, type:uint=0 ):String
{
var d1:Date = new Date();
d1 = new Date(d1.getFullYear(),d1.getMonth(),d1.getDate());
var d2:Date = new Date(date.getFullYear(),date.getMonth(),date.getDate());
if(d11000*60*60*24*7) return “”;
if(type>8||isNaN(type)) type = 0;
var list:Array;
switch(type) {
case 0: case 3:
list = [“TODAY”,”YESTERDAY”]; break;
case 1: case 4:
list = [“Today”,”Yesterday”]; break;
case 2: case 5:
list = [“today”,”yesterday”]; break;
}
var diff:int = d1.getDate()-d2.getDate();
if(diff<=1) return list[diff];
return getWeekName( d2.getDay(), type );
}
The below custom functions might be of use where you don’t want to use currency formatter or numeric Formatter of AS3
public function currencyFormat( number:Number ):String {
var words:Array = String( number ).split( “” ).reverse();
var results:Array = new Array();
var l:int = words.length;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < l; i++ ) {
results.push( words[i] );
if ( i % 3 == 2 ) {
results.push( “,” );
}
}
return results.reverse().join( “” );
}public function prefixZero( number:Number, figure:int ):String {
var str:String = String( number );
for ( var i:int = 0; i < figure; i++ ) {
str = “0” + str;
}
return str.substr( str.length – figure, str.length );
}
The Below code demonstrates the conversion of ByteArray to BitmapData. In the below case, SWF is loaded and converted into BitmapData
private function swfLoad_complete(evt:Event):void {
byteArrayToBitmapData(swf.content.loaderInfo.bytes);
}
private function byteArrayToBitmapData(ba:ByteArray):void {
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, getBitmapData);
loader.loadBytes(ba);
}
private function getBitmapData(e:Event):void {
var content:* = loader.content;
var BMPData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(content.width,content.height);
var UIMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
BMPData.draw(content, UIMatrix);
}
The code below demonstrates the data type conversions among basic DataTypes used most in Flex. The ‘init()’ method does to and from conversion for ArrayCollection to XML and XML to ArrayCollection
Object, String, XML, ArrayCollection

var decoder:SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true);
var resultObj:Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc);
var ac:ArrayCollection =new ArrayCollection(Array(resultObj.root.list.source.item));
return ac;
}
private function objectToXML(obj:Object):XML {
var qName:QName = new QName(“root”);

/* General function for Conversion (thanks, Krystian Bień)
