You can use the getPixels() method of the BitmapData class to get the raw pixel data as a ByteArray. Using setPixels() you can fill a BitmapData object with data from a ByteArray.
You can post / retrieve that data from a server using a URLRequest object, specifying that you want to use a binary format. The problem of this approach, I think, is that it'd consume a lot of bandwith (unless you have really small images). Each pixel takes 4 bytes. In a 400 x 400 image, that's 160000 pixels and so 640000 bytes or 625 Kb.
