Even if you could, you'd run into SharedObject size restrictions for
most users as per their player default settings.

Unfortunately, there's a few non-primitive data types that can't
be
saved to shared objects owing to an apparent lack of
serialization
support in the native code. Among these are BitmapData and
ByteArray.
To persist these data into shared objects, they must first
serialized
into primitives before they can be persisted into shared
objects, for
instance, as Base64-encoded string or a packed array of 8-byte
Numbers.
