Take on THIS Challange!

[Hosma293]

Hi All

If you think of yourself as an ActionScript Guru then take on this challange.
The Challange is quite simple..
Make a Text2Binary and Binary2Text converter!
And that may sound easy but unless you know your ActionScript it is no easy task! :)
It does not have to be done completely in ActionScript because its extremely hard to get everything right and it must NOT use PHP! :p

If anyone takes on this challange post your converter here. The best one wins! :D

PS: You don't actually win anything, its just for fun.

Uh... What do you mean by 'Text2Binary and Binary2Text converter'??? Can you explain??? :)

[Laguana]

I think he means turning the text into it's binary representation (like an A is actually represented by some number in ascii, which then has it's own representation in binary)

[Xeef]

t = "Hope understand right";
function T2B(T) {
A = T.split("");
for (a in A) {
A[a] = ord(A[a]).toString(16);
}
return A.join("");
}
function B2T(T) {
A = "";
for (a=0; a<T.length; a += 2) {
A += chr((Number("0x"+T.substr(a, 2))));
}
return A;
}
trace(T2B(t));
trace(B2T("5468697320697320746f6f6f6f6f206561737920212121"));

PS.

T2B --> will fail on Characters which has a ASCii Nr below 15 (woud need to put a "0")

[Hosma293]

Xeef, Could you make it use two text boxs and two buttons to do the conversions?
e.g.
_______________ _______________




_______________ _______________

|convert to binary| |convert to text|

Say if you clicked on 'Convert to Binary' then flash would read the text from the left textbox and the binary text would appear in the right box and vise versa for 'Convert to Text'
