Binary Data, ColdFusion & Adobe Flex

Several months ago I posted some articles on my blog about Flex 2 components and accessing/modifying their BitmapData. In one example, I sent the BitmapData to the server and saved it as a JPG file, and I've been asked numerous times since... 'How did you do that?' It's surprisingly easy to do once you understand the concepts involved. There are four ways to get binary data from the Flex application back to your server: AMF3 (RemoteObject), Web Services, HTTP Services, or through a Socket connection. In this article I'll cover the first three topics as they pertain to Flex 2; Socket connectivity could take an article all by itself.
