I have a secret key that was sent to me as a file so I can encrypt some xml data using Blowfish. How do I access the key so that I can use it with AS3Crypto? I assume I need to Embed it using the [Embed] meta tag. It's mimeType="application/octet-stream" but I'm not sure if thats right. How do I embed, then reference this file as the secret key? The xmls that I'm encrypting cannot be decrypted on the Java side. Each attempt fails with this exception:

javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded.

As a bonus, if anyone has experience using the lib to work with the Java implementation and knows the ideal mode/padding/IV to use that would be awesome. Thanks!

//keyFile is an embedded asset. I was given a file to use as the key
var kdata:ByteArray = new keyFile() as ByteArray;

//Convert orderXML to Base64
var orderData:ByteArray = Base64.decodeToByteArray(String(orderXML));

//Cipher name   
var cname:String = "simple-blowfish-ecb";

var pad:IPad = new PKCS5;
var mode:ICipher = Crypto.getCipher(cname, kdata, pad);

//not sure if this is necessary. seems to be also set in mode
pad.setBlockSize(mode.getBlockSize());

mode.encrypt(orderData);

var transmitXML:String = Base64.encodeByteArray(orderData);

//DEBUG: Output to TextArea
storePanel.statusBox.text += "\n--TRANSMIT--\n"+transmitXML;
