Is it possible to convert facebook data (ex. user_pic) into a DisplayObject so I can be easier to manipulate? What I m trying to do is when users do FacebookConnect in my site to let them have the possibility to scale their image (like transform tool usage) before submit it in a gallery.
A:
Update: It turns out that OP already has the image in a UILoader
. In that case, you can access it using the content
property of UILoader
var img:Bitmap = Bitmap(uiLoader.content);
var bitmapdata:BitmapData = img.bitmapData;
You can load the user picture to your SWF using a Loader object and manipulate it, provided the image is hosted in a sever that allows SWFs from your domain to access contents using appropriate crossdomain.xml
.
If you know the location of policy file, call Security.loadPoliCyFile before loading image. Flash player will try to load it from the default location /crossdomain.xml
Security.loadPolicyFile(policy-file-url);
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoad);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onError);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(the-image-url);
function onError(e:Event):void
{
trace(e);
}
function onLoad(e:Event):void
{
//this will fail if there is no crossdomain.xml file at
//the image's originating server.
var image:Bitmap = LoaderInfo(e.target).content as Bitmap;
var bitmapData:BitmapData = image.bitmapData;
//do whatever you want with the bitmap data here
addChild(image);
}

Thanks for your answer. The fact is that I load data with the Facebook GetInfo method and store them in a variable like that: pUser.pic_big; I don't have the exact URL for each picture. I use a UILoader component to add the image on stage through the UILOader.source=pUser.pic_big method but I cannot scale it or transform it at runtime.

@dimitree if you already have it on stage, you can access it using `uiLoader.content`

This means can I transform it and save the new image in my server?
