I'm working on a social networking site where I need the user to be able to save an image. Other users will be able to view this users profile seeing this image that was saved to a mysql database.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks

In addition to what kglad said (thanks for the plug, BTW), it more sounded
to me like you want users to be able to upload images to the server, instead
of letting people save jpeg's to their local machine. In that case, just use
the FileReference class' upload method. You'll also need a server-side
script to save the file on the server, and store the image name in your
database.

So, I'd suggest you start by looking in the Help at the
FileReference.upload() method.

oops, i think you may be correct dave.

i streamlined (slightly) and used your array compression method to email graphics created in flash and thought the time required for processing was comparable to mario klingemann's class. but your method is much easier to use (and understand).

the main time consumer is the getPixel() loop. it would be nice if as2 had a more efficient way to assemble the data in an image.

you can use the bitmapdata class and some server-side scripting to save images using as2. the main problem is data compression to speed processing of the image.

mario klingemann's bitmapexporter class (www.quasimondo.com) offers some image compression methods or check dave mennenoh's (www.dmennenoh.blogspot.com) simple but surprisingly effective array compression method:
