ATF to PNG Converter Tool

A few days ago a client asked me if I can convert ATF (Adobe Texture Format) to PNG images. Knowing that ATF files are used by some Starling developers when developing games and applications with Adobe Air, I knew that I could build a tool that will load the graphic, add it to the stage, then basically, take a screenshot of the entire stage and save it as a PNG image file. It took a a few hours to get the final application done. I’ve made it available for download in case anyone else needs to convert ATF to PNG (with transparency).

AlivePDF download and save to server

Today I found myself needing to implement AlivePDF into a project that needs to generate a PDF, save it on the server and download it to the user’s computer.

Since I didn’t find any information about how to do this (and I found some other people trying to find out how it’s done) I thought I should give it a try. I posted the final result below if someone else needs to know how to both save the PDF file on the server and download it to the user’s computer.

ActionScript 3 AlivePDF code:

_pdf.save(Method.REMOTE, "save.php", Download.ATTACHMENT, "MyFile.pdf");

PHP code that will save the file on the server (inside a specified folder) and save it to the user’s computer too:

<?php
 
if(isset($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"])){
	$pdf = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];
	$name = $_GET["name"];
	$save_to = "pdf/". $name;
	file_put_contents($save_to, $pdf);
 
	// add headers for download dialog-box
	header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
	header('Content-Length: '.strlen($pdf));
	header('Content-disposition:'.$method.'; filename="'.$name.'"');
	echo $pdf;
 
} else{
	echo "Encoded PDF information not received.";
}
?>
Timecode Utility

Today I’m sharing simple utility that I use from time to time when I need to convert time (see what I did there? 😀 )
It’s very useful if you build a FLV player for example, and want to convert the time into minutes:seconds

Example of how to apply it to your project:

import com.vamapaull.utils.TimeUtil;
 
time.text = TimeUtil.getTimecode(timeValue);

Results:

The ActionScript class:

package com.vamapaull.utils
{
    public class TimeUtil
    {
        public static function getTimecode(value:Number):String
        {
            var t:Number    = Math.round(value),
                min:Number  = Math.floor(t/60),
                sec:Number  = t%60,
                tc:String   = "";
 
            if(min &lt; 10)                  tc += "0";                          if(min &gt;= 1)
            {
                if (isNaN(min) == true) tc += "0";
                else tc += min.toString();
            }
            else 
                tc += "0";
 
            tc += ":";
 
            if(sec &lt; 10) 
            {
                tc += "0";
 
                if (isNaN(sec) == true) tc += "0";
                else tc += sec.toString();
            }
            else 
            {
                if (isNaN(sec) == true) tc += "0";
                else tc += sec.toString();
            }
 
            return tc;
        }
    }
}
