Uncompressed, yeah, that'd be ugly. But how does something like the following (guesswork code) perform?
foo:BitmapData = new BitmapData() ; /* put your image data in there, with whatever method */ bar:ByteArray = foo.getPixels(myImageRect) ; var.compress() ; Again, mostly asking because I don't know enough about AS3/FP9. It's supposed to be using zlib compression on the ByteArray but for all I know it's still doesn't compress enough or quickly enough to be useful. I'm totally leaving out the question of conversion after post or Socket or whatever used server side to get the job done, but I have to assume it wouldn't be difficult using GD or ImageMagic. Anyone used this?
