Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / August 2007

First, please do not post about using a file system for images rather than
storing them in mysql as I know how to do this and I want to store the images
in a database. If you can explain more of the security of a file system then I
will listen as that is the only issue I'm having with the file system. However,
all I want to know is how to take an image in a blob field in a mysql database
and display it in a flash movieclip. I can use php to echo the image straight
to a browser no problem. I've read I may have to create a temporary image on
the server and display that, but there is little documentation, actually none,
aside from using a file system on how to handle images in mysql and display
them in flash. Please advise as I can't believe it's this difficult to display
an image in flash from a mysql database.
