Oops, you're right, that does work. Problem was I originally tested
it on Bumbles code rendition which is why it failed. Bumbles claims
the part that's wrong with the current rendition of his (second)
botched attempt was the conversion to hex so next I'll try that and
see what it can do speed wise. After that I plan to check it against
my original method but using case instead of if statements. I've also
got a couple other methods to test which may be even faster, one of
which is a bit more complex though. This kinda outlines it:

:BitmapData.getPixels()
:
:No, longer do you have to loop through every pixel in a bitmap, one at
:a time with getPixel to send a bitmap to the server. This method
:returns a ByteArray containing the hexadecimal color value of each of
:the pixels in the specified rectangular region of a bitmap. Use this
:method in conjunction with the new ZLib compression method;
:ByteArray.compress() to compress and send a bitmap over the wire to a
:server so it can be converted into a file ready for downloading.

That's actually what I originally tried to do but couldn't get the
getPixels function to play nice when I tried sending it to the PHP
script, so I figured I'd try it agian.
