You could try filing a bug/enhancement request against Flash Player at http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/. Peter @Yann,

I am using fileReference in a project where I need to modify the image before sending it to my server (rotate, resize...) The issue is that fileReference.data is read only, therefore I cannot pass along the new image data. I could use URLLoader to send Binary ByteArray to the server but then I will lose the ability to have a progress event during the upload, which is not great. From what I understand, fileReference.data is set by fileReference.load(). Is there a way to override this function to sort of 'reload' a new image ? Or maybe modify the constructor of the class to be able to pass a bitmapData object when creating a new object? Thanks Thanks Peter for the tutorial !

Has anyone found a quick way to load .bmp images directly? An example or a link to a description would be great. Thanks, Scott Hey guys,

I've never tried Linux so I cannot comment on whether that would work or not though, but it may be enough to get you started. Otherwise, you could download the Flex 4.0 beta SDK from the previous URL and try compiling via the command line using MXMLC. Peter @Insane User,
