Actually, you can load an image directly into Flash Player using FileReference/load():
var file:FileReference = new FileReference();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click);
function click(e:MouseEvent):void {
  file.browse([new FileFilter("JPEG", "*.jpg")]);
  file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, fileSelect);
function fileSelect(e:Event):void {
  trace(file.name)
  file.load();
  file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileComplete);
function fileComplete(e:Event):void {
  var loader:Loader = new Loader();
  loader.loadBytes(file.data);
  addChild(loader);
