Another popular image format yet to be supported by Flash and Flex is Truevision TARGA (.tga) format (also see Encyclopedia of graphics format). This format supports the popular 1, 8,16, 24, 32 bits per pixel for RGBA. In addition, it also supports run length encoding (RLE) for compression. I am still working on the decoding but encoding RGB24bpp and RGBA32bpp with no-compression is available here right now. This feature has also been added to the ImageDEncoder project for demonstration purpose.
