I am looking for a way to upload external images and store them in a database. So far I ve made a fileuploader that loads images in a folder.  
I d like the same thing but store them in database. Do I have to change my Actionscript code or the change has to be done in the PHP file?($db = mysql\_connect etc…)

From them on I will load each one in a a flash movie and resize them.  
The thing that confuses me more is how can I rename each image (let’s say the user uploads an image called myphoto.jpg) to a name so I can resize later using BitmapData ?
