I know how to save images from flash using JPGEncoder/PNGEncoder using FileReference.save();

But I don’t want the dialogbox displayed.  
I want this: Clicking a button will save the image to a predefined location without user confirmation.  
OR  
Is there anyway to store BitmapData locally so that I can access it later from flash?
