Hi,
I want to store binary Data (Images/JPG) into a XML-DB and store this XML-File localy on a HD (via ZINC / www.multimedia.com).
Now I want to load the binary Data into Flash and tell Flash that this data is an image. Then I want to show the Image on stage.
My question: Is it generally possible to load binary data from a XML-File into flash and tell flash what kind of datatype this data is so it can be shown as JPGs in a movieclip?
It's neccessary to store binary data in a XML-File and load it into Flash, because I want to use XML-Files for an Update-Possibility for an offline-Application (Standalone Projector). Users should be able to store XML-Files localy on HD.
The Problem of ZINC is, that MAC-Users only are able to store ASCII-Files instead of storing binary Data. :-( Otherwise I would solve this problem by using FTP to update Images an store them localy which is also not available for MAC-Users :-(
Now my idea is to store updates on a server into a SQL-Database. If an update-request occures, neccessary parts of the SQL-DB will be exported as XML and sent to the user, who is storing this XML localy.
Maybe there are other (better) solutions to solve my problem...
Thanks for any help or idea.
