One way would be store the image as a blob in the database and load it as a bytearray into an image object in Flex. This is a good approach when the images are not too big. Here is a discussion around doing it with SQLLite; the approach would be similar [1]
Loading the image as a url over http would work as well, but you need to have a webserver setup. With this approach you could make use of the Adobe AIR's builtin caching mechanisms.
