Thinking about this a bit more, I wouldn't use loadBytes If the main app had <mx:Image id="img" />
The steps to get the byte array should be: Var ba:ByteArray = img.content.bitmapData.getPixels(); On the other side, if you have said byteArray, and the width and height, then it should be: Var bd:BitmapData = new BItmapData(width, height); bd.setPixels(ba); img2.source = new Bitmap(bd); where img2 is defined in the other app as: <mx:Image id="img2" /> Alex Harui Flex SDK Developer Adobe Systems Inc.<http://www.adobe.com/> Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of rob_mcmichael Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Marshall Plan: Loading images from byteArray > You didn't saw you were stringifying the bytearray.

If I did it through a SWFLoader I obviously get a security violation. That was through the content.loader is that right? I am about to make a UI component which I will pass a URL to that should take care of the rest, but would be good to perfect it if possible. Are there any size limitations I should know about with ByteArrays? I don't want to find out it's all in vain :( I managed to break FlexBuilder when it was tracing out the byte array after I had turned it into a string :p Thanks Alex Rob
