Alchemy + libJPEG cont'd

My version of jpegencoder(compressor, really) (with decoder, (decompressor, really!) as a side dish) is finished yesterday. However, the output was a bit unexpected. It has all the jpeg information correct; however, the output image is a blank image. So it did the compression, that's for sure. I have also unplugged the AS Wrappers and just tested the C codes. It went perfectly correct. So i suspected it would have been the source that had toyed my efforts. And, i was correct.

Right now, im not entirely worried about my AS-C wrappers. As stated, it's the AS that is causing the chaos.

in AS

myOriginalImg.source = event.target.data; //myOriginalImg is

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(event.target.data);

var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myOriginalImg.width, myOriginalImg.height, true, 0x00000000);
bmpData.draw(myOriginalImg);


With the above code, if you output the values of each pixel, you will get 0x00000000 or 0.

I have tested a few more ways, almost all of them printed a blank image.


SO I AM SO SO STUCK AT THIS!!! If you know to turn into BitmapData with correct pixel values(as it SHOULD!). PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!

THANKS TO AH WAI, THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!


private function ...... :void{
AhWaiGehLoader = new Loader();
AhWaiGehLoader.loadBytes(event.target.data);
AhWaiGehLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaderInfoComplete);

...
}
private function onLoaderInfoComplete(event:Event):void
{
var bmpData:BitmapData = Bitmap(AhWaiGehLoader.content).bitmapData; // Ah Wai's one liner solution
var byteArray:ByteArray = bmpData.getPixels(new Rectangle(0,0, myOriginalImg.width, myOriginalImg.height)); // continue with the usual implementation!!
