I as far as I can work out [Embed(source="logo.png", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] public var logo:Class;
would enable you to access logo as a bytearray. I hope that helps? I'm still not really quite sure what you're trying to do, to be honest. Anyway, you might want to have a look at this : http://dispatchevent.org/roger/embed-almost-anything-in-your-swf/ which I think might be at least along the lines of what you want to know, apologies in advance if I've got the wrong end of the stick. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pan Troglodytes Sent: 17 September 2008 22:26 To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] possible to get bytes from a pre-existing Image? This question is really part of a larger ball of stuff I'm trying to untangle. Basically, the first part is that if I have this: [Embed(source="logo.png")] public var logo:Class; ... var img:Image = new Image; img.source = logo; Is there any way to get a ByteArray from img that can be fed to Loader? Unfortunately, I'm stuck with Loader. If you really want to know, I'm trying to mess with a TextArea that has htmlText with an <img> tag in it. I want to switch the img tag to switch between different images that are embedded in the SWF. As far as I can tell, there's no way to tell an <img> tag to load an image out of the SWF. Feel free to correct me on that. Because of some features of the environment, I really want to embed the images and not load them from the local file system or over the network. Eventually, I actually want to replace the PNG with an SVG. This is part of why I'm wanting to have the files embedded. But I know this will bring further challenges, as SVG is a vector format and I will have to get a raster rendering of the SVG at a certain size before I can ever expect to feed it to Loader. But I'm trying to take it one giant hurdle at a time. Any thoughts, other than that I'm insane to do such a thing? -- Jason ______________________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
