Uncompressed, yeah, that'd be ugly. But how does something like the

foo:BitmapData = new BitmapData() ;

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.
Well, it might be easier in Actionscript 3.0. I know that in 2.0 it was
a major pain, even with gzip compression... I know Grant Skinner got it
working, you might want to check out this blog entry:

and this attempted util: http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php
I've researched this problem before, and came to the conclusion that it
was a last resort at best. But try out Klingermann's demo on Quasimondo
and see how fast it runs for you. On some computers or connections it is
very slow indeed. You may be able to optimize it, though -- if you try
and succeed, please give back by posting it somewhere or open-sourcing
it on a well-known site like osflash.org. If you aren't discouraged
after all I've said, I wish you luck!
