Convert .txt file to .cap to open it by Wireshark

Question

I am trying to make a simple project when you click a button a draggable MovieClip is added to the stag and when you click it releases the MovieClip to the X/Y where you clicked, you can then pickup the MovieClip and drag it into a bin (MovieClip) where it destroys itself. The code is working great I can make multiple Movieclips with the button and they are all destroyed when I drag them in the bin however I don't like having "Error Codes".

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var rubbish:my_mc = new my_mc();
btntest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, makeRubbish);

function makeRubbish (event:MouseEvent):void {


addChild(rubbish);

rubbish.x = mouseX - 10;
rubbish.y = mouseY - 10;
rubbish.width = 50;
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragging);
rubbish.buttonMode = true;
}

function stopDragging (event:MouseEvent):void {
    rubbish.stopDrag()
    event.target.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startDragging);
    rubbish.buttonMode = true;
            if (event.target.hitTestObject(bin))
            {
                trace("hit");
                 event.target.name = "rubbish"; 
    removeChild(getChildByName("rubbish"));


            }
}
function startDragging (event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag();
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopDragging);
}

Solution

How is the text file formatted? What kind of data does it contain? If it's some sort of hex dump, e.g.

9   0.167204 64.28.67.150 -> 192.168.0.2  TCP 80 > 2741 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=641 Win=7040 Len=0 TSV=282917349 TSER=38398814

you should be able to use text2pcap to convert it.

I am trying now to find the text2pcap app and download it

[ferg]

Sorry mate, where I can find the text2pcap app? and how I can use it.

[dsolimano]

@freehonest, I believe it's part of the wireshark install. On my windows machine, it's located at C:\Program Files\Wireshark\text2pcap.exe.

[Denys]

@dsolimano is correct. It and a bunch of other command line utilities are part of the default Windows and OS X installs. On Linux you have to install the "bunch of CLI utilities that ship with Wireshark package" which is often named "wireshark-common" or something similar.

hmm I'm still getting the error but now the whole stage moves when I drag and it doesn't like to let go of the rubbish

[Chelsie Rae McNulty]

line 41 error 1118 implict coercion of value with a static type to a possible unrelated type my_mc

[shennan]

@ChelsieRaeMcNulty Try now. Note the change is dragging = event.currentTarget as my_mc;

[Chelsie Rae McNulty]

No errors anymore however the rubbish is deleted after you drag and let go anywhere on the stage, it doesn't have to hit the bin like it should? its like collision is always on?

[Chelsie Rae McNulty]

seems to work perfect with no errors if I change dragging = event.currentTarget as my_mc; to event.taget
