Hi, I am creating a website where people can upload images to my server. These are then downloaded by a seperate flash file. Is it better to resize the images using Flash or PHP? I have tried a php resize script, but the images seem to lose quite a lot of thier quality. Where as flash it looks a bit better, when I just resize them using \_xscale Also I have the problem, it would be nice it people could upload whatever size (memory or dimensions) image they want then php resizes it and it’s all good. As in Flash I may have to be downloading huge image size, which slow down the transfer… However I don’t want to lose the images quality and I suck at PHP but I’m okay in AS. Thanks! 😃 ---
