All IDataInput and IDataOutput operations are "bigEndian" by default (the most significant byte in the sequence is stored at the lowest or first storage address), and are nonblocking.
Sign extension matters only when you read data, not when you write it. Therefore, you do not need separate
write methods to work with IDataInput.readUnsignedByte() and
IDataInput.readUnsignedShort(). In other words:
- Use
IDataOutput.writeByte()withIDataInput.readUnsignedByte()andIDataInput.readByte(). - Use
IDataOutput.writeShort()withIDataInput.readUnsignedShort()andIDataInput.readShort().

writeBoolean | () | method |
public function writeBoolean(value:Boolean):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Writes a Boolean value. A single byte is written according to the value parameter,
either 1 if true or 0 if false.
Parameters
value:Boolean — A Boolean value determining which byte is written. If the parameter is true,
1 is written; if false, 0 is written.

public function writeBytes(bytes:ByteArray, offset:uint = 0, length:uint = 0):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Writes a sequence of bytes from the
specified byte array, bytes,
starting at the byte specified by offset
(using a zero-based index)
with a length specified by length,
into the file stream, byte stream, or byte array.
If the length parameter is omitted, the default
length of 0 is used and the entire buffer starting at
offset is written.
If the offset parameter is also omitted, the entire buffer is
written.
If the offset or length parameter
is out of range, they are clamped to the beginning and end
of the bytes array.
Parameters
bytes:ByteArray — The byte array to write.

writeMultiByte | () | method |
public function writeMultiByte(value:String, charSet:String):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Writes a multibyte string to the file stream, byte stream, or byte array, using the specified character set.
Parameters
value:String — The string value to be written.
| |
charSet:String — The string denoting the character set to use. Possible character set strings
include "shift-jis", "cn-gb", "iso-8859-1", and others.

writeUTF | () | method |
public function writeUTF(value:String):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Writes a UTF-8 string to the file stream, byte stream, or byte array. The length of the UTF-8 string in bytes is written first, as a 16-bit integer, followed by the bytes representing the characters of the string.
Parameters
value:String — The string value to be written.

Throws
RangeError — If the length is larger than
65535.

writeUTFBytes | () | method |
DataOutputExample to write a boolean
and the double-precision floating-point representation of pi to a byte array. This is accomplished
using the following steps:
- Declare a new ByteArray object instance
byteArr. - Write the byte-equivalent value of the Boolean
falseand the double-precision floating-point equivalent of the mathematical value of pi. - Read back the boolean and double-precision floating-point number.
Notice how a code segment is added at the end to check for end of file errors to ensure that the byte stream is not read past its end.
