Hey all 😃

I was just curious if it was at all possible to compress dynamic images (pulled from reading an xml file)…to script a controller that would compress jpegs to a certain kb size, or if that’s impossible?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Not from within flash. Compressing images loaded from the server would have to be done on the server. Using ASP, php or whatever backend technology your server supports.
