Could you explain the third paragraph in more detail please? @ Carey Belser Sure, I'll try. To transfer a photo from the Web application server to the Flex client it is desirable to have a PHP array of bytes data type so the the Flex client can received this photo as an ActionScript 3.0 ByteArray data type. PHP does not have a byte array data type. The closes PHP data type is String. Accordingly, internal to the Web application server we watch for a (very long) string data type and if the long string has the right photo data header bytes, the we internally convert the photo data type to a ActionScript 3.0 ByteArray data type. The Flex 3 or 4 built client can conveniently render photos that are received as AS 3.0 ByteArrays. Pete Great story, thanks. Could you explain the third paragraph in more detail please?
