this shows how to get binary data and turn it into an image. Kenneth. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Vega Sent: 13 January 2009 13:39 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Loading images using binary data I have a data grid that lists the contents of a folder an the server.What I want to do is have a button that allows the user to swap between a data grid and a list of thumbnails. There maybe a chance that these directories have more than images but for now lets just pretend they are all images. Using a remote object call I can go to the server and get the binary data for an image, like I have in the example below. I was wondering if anyone has an example of this in an item renderer and second once I grab the binary data, how can I create thumbnails of that image? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; private var imgData:ByteArray; private function init():void { var imgData = new ByteArray(); ImageService.readImage("C:\\dan\\rocket_step7_a.png"); } private function onReadImage(event:ResultEvent):void { imgData = event.result as ByteArray; var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.loadBytes(imgData); imageCanvas.rawChildren.addChild( loader ); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:RemoteObject id="ImageService" destination="ColdFusion" source="ImageLoader.src.ImageService" showBusyCursor="true"> <mx:method name="readImage" result="onReadImage(event)"/> </mx:RemoteObject> <mx:Canvas id="imageCanvas" width="100" height="100"/> </mx:Application> Thank You Dan Vega danv...@gmail.com http://www.danvega.org Disclaimer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This electronic message contains information which may be privileged and confidential.
