[flexcoders] HTTPService post to return an image?

[method_air]

Is it possible to return an image object using HTTPService?

The fault method executes when I attempt to do this:

var http:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
    http.url = "myScript.ashx";
    http.method = "POST";
    http.resultFormat = "object";

Should URLLoader be used instead?

Cheers,

Philip
