Flex 4 / PHP Data-Centric Photo Transfers

By Pete Mackie
June 1, 2010

Have you ever-wondered why you mostly see Flex client example code where the photo display galleries are rendered using the ActionScript 3 (AS 3) Loader.load (request:URLRequest, context:LoaderContext=null) class.method? There’s another way to render photos in a Flex client gallery using the AS 3 Loader.loadBytes(bytes:ByteArray, context:LoaderContext=null) that you see used to a lesser degree. Why is this? There are a couple of valid reasons. First, using a URL, whether it is photos included with the Flex client package or remotely from a Web server, making a simple HTTP calls to load the photo is a snap. Second, photo files are stored as bytes of data and not a convenient AS 3 ByteArray data type.
