com.hurlant.util.hex syntax error on air sdk 3.5

Question

I have an application written and compiled with an older version of flex sdk. Now i have to port this application to run on mobile devices, so i changed the sdk to air sdk 3.5. I'm using hurlant library for encryption/decryption. bu on Hex class there is a line that throws an error.

    if (hex.length&1==1) hex="0"+hex;

I dont know what (hex.length&1==1) means. So how should i have to change the line or is there any other solutions for that problem?

Answer 1

I've seen that error too, it happens when you compile with the new ASC2.0 compiler of Flash Builder 4.7.

I changed if (hex.length&1==1) hex="0"+hex; into

 if ((hex.length&1)==1) hex="0"+hex;

and that fixed it.

Answer 2

you will need both, flex and air!
looks like a typo to me..

if (hex.length==1) hex="0"+hex;

depending on what that if statement should look for

EDIT MY Bad
I didn't know about that Operator, i would have done that with a modulus!
I bow to your superior skills.

Answer 3

if(hex.length&1==1) means that checks whether hex.length is Odd-numbered(1,3,5,7...).

refer a as follows:

var str:String = "111";

if(str.length&1==1)
{
   str = "0" + str;

   trace(str);
}

your syntax no problem. I'm sure that. what kind of error show to?

I have a Hex.as. but no occur any syntax error. In Flash Builder 4.6, Flash CS6 AIR3.5.

            for (var i:uint=0;i<hex.length;i+=2) {
                a[i/2] = parseInt(hex.substr(i,2),16);

            return fromArray(a, colons);

    }
