BitmapData encode

Flash 11.3推出了新的API，貌似能将图片压缩成ByteArray，这个也许很有用。貌似能压缩10-20倍的大小。也许图片可以通过这个来压缩加载，甚至缓存到内存里面。

public function encode(rect:Rectangle, compressor:Object, byteArray:ByteArray = null):ByteArray

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 11.3, AIR 3.3

Compresses this BitmapData object using the selected compressor algorithm and returns a new ByteArray object. Optionally, writes the resulting data to the specified ByteArray. The compressorargument specifies the encoding algorithm, and can be PNGEncoderOptions, JPEGEncoderOptions, or JPEGXREncoderOptions.

The following example compresses a BitmapData object using the JPEGEncoderOptions:

     // Compress a BitmapData object as a JPEG file.
     var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(640,480,false,0x00FF00);
     var byteArray:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
     bitmapData.encode(new Rectangle(0,0,640,480), new flash.display.JPEGEncoderOptions(), byteArray); 

Parameters

	rect:Rectangle — The area of the BitmapData object to compress.
	compressor:Object — The compressor type to use. Valid values are: flash.display.PNGEncoderOptions, flash.display.JPEGEncoderOptions, andflash.display.JPEGXREncoderOptions.
	byteArray:ByteArray (default = null) — The output ByteArray to hold the encoded image.

Returns

ByteArray — A ByteArray containing the encoded image.
