title: Create image from data-in-uri (base64-encoded PNG) in ActionScript
body: <p>I have a string of of base64-encoded PNG image that is suitable to use as a src (source) attribute in a <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> tag. However I need to transfer this image to Flash applet where I need to create (show) the image <strong>fast</strong>. Is there a way to simply use the data string and somehow create an image (inside a Flash movie) from it?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Performance of the operation is a core requirement.</strong></p>
