As suggested, you might be better off learning if there is an efficient way of doing this with actionscript, but if you are determined to use PHP you have two pretty straight forward options. Find out if you have allow_url_fopen enabled on your host, and then it's as easy as;

php Code:

$image_url = 'http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/plmfa/1.png';
$local = imagecreatefrompng( $image_url );

// This displays the image, but it's just as easy to save it
header( 'Content-Type: image/png' );

imagepng( $local );
imagedestroy( $local );

If allow_url_fopen is disabled, cURL can do what you need.
