title: saving dynamic drawing, then re-loading
body: <p>ok, i've spent a good bit trying to figure out the best way to approach this ... and i'm kind of at a loss. google has NOT been much help.</p>
  
  <p>the short version of what i need to do - via AS3 and PHP - is a user can come to this project and draw something. drawing's no problem, that's done. my issue is figuring out how to take that drawing data, converting it into something i can save to my database ... then reload said data and recreate it on the stage when the user "loads" it. </p>
  
  <p>i guess i'm just searching for a way to take drawn data (just using typical as3 drawing methods) and breaking it down to a string, then bringing that string back in and recreating it. i'm not super versed in ByteArrays - which i suspect is where my answer lies.</p>
  
  <p>user doesn't need to adjust any of this after it's loaded, fwiw. i'd just like to send this drawing data out - then bring it back in and place it back on the stage.</p>
  
  <p>any ideas are greatly appreciated.</p>
