I am currently developing a multi-user whiteboard using Flash Media Server. The client wants a user to be able to import an image from their hard-drive into the whiteboard for all to see. The most straight forward solution I can see is for the image to be uploaded to the server, and then all the client swfs will be able to see it and open it from the server. However, this will result in a lot of images building up on the server that are in reality only ever going to be seen once. Does anyone know of a method I can use to transfer the image to other clients by sending data from within Flash and without having to upload the original image to the server? I tried sending a BitmapData object to the server but it didn't like that. SharedObjects don't accept BitmapData objects either, and trying to send a MovieClip with a jpeg loaded into it didn't work at all. Any ideas? It's not essential it works this way, but it would make more sense for the image data be destroyed once the session is over, and it saves me chasing up the server developers for another webservice.
