I\'m currently using the JPGEncoder from the AS3 core lib to encode a bitmap to JPEG
var enc:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(90);
var jpg:ByteArra
asynchronous decode the png picture in separate thread ,supported by new version ...
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.imageDecodingPolicy = ImageDecodingPolicy.ON_LOAD;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("...png"),loaderContext);
addChild(loader);
that's official.
