1. Hi Stacy,
   I believe your Base64Image component could be great….but there’s no way to tell since there are no code examples on how it can actually be used. I see it has a “source” property, but is it used like a regular mx:Image tag ? with the exception being that you pass it a base64 string as the source ? Actual code examples would be nice, even if its just the code behind the example app that is shown. Thanks !

2. Wow I really let that to-do item slide.

   Yes, the source is expecting a base64 string. I’ve used this in tangent with a servlet to simulate a “image picker” for flex. You can have the user select a local image file via FileReference and “bounce” it off a servlet which pops it back to the client base64 encoded.

   Would also be handy in an email client …to render encoded image attachments.
