Flash and external images

[hartken]

I know you can read external images from a flash movie using loadMovie in actionscript. I also know that you can resize images using php. I was wondering if anyone could do both, so if I call an image from flash, I can reference a php script and resize it automatically. Has anyone got it to work? I tried it and no luck.

What you could do is use GD (In PHP) to automatically resize the images (ask your host about activation and stuff) and then call it in flash via actionscript. Or you could call it in flash and use AS to resize it but you usually use a fair bit of quality and I think its fairly cumbersome.
