Please help!!

I have an app that needs to generate a picture for my reports and i need to pass the picture to the reports but i dont want to have to save each file to disk and reload it etc. I have tried the code below but just get an error on my report, help...
function TForm1.QRCodeStream(encData: String; x, y: Integer): TStream;
var
  tmpCanvas: tBitMap;
begin
// necessary logic
  result:= TStream.Create;
  tmpCanvas := TBitMap.Create;
  QRCode1.code := encData;
  QRCode1.paintBarcode(tmpCanvas.Canvas);

  tmpcanvas.SaveToStream(result);
  tmpcanvas.Free;

end;

function TForm1.MainReportUserFunction(const MethodName: string;
  var Params: Variant): Variant;
begin
  if MethodName = 'QRCODE' then
    Result := Integer(QRCodeStream(Params[0], Params[1], Params[1]));
end;


//this next lin is in the forms create
  MainReport.AddFunction('function QrCode(encData: String; X, Y: Integer): TStream');

Then on my report attached to some data whitch all works fine and has been tested i have a picture object and i have set the onBeforePrint For the Picture to 
Picture2.LoadFromStream(QrCode('This is a tes ' + <Time>,1,1) );

I know the code is not very elegant yet but i just wanted to get it working firstly, so any advise.

    Use in Delphi's code 
    var BMP: TBitmap;
begin
     BMP:=TBitmap.Create;
     BMP.LoadFromFile('C:\Test.bmp');
     frxReport1.Script.Variables['pBMP']:=integer(BMP);
     frxReport1.ShowReport();
     BMP.Free;
end;
    in report's script 
    procedure Picture1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
var P: TPicture;
begin
     P:=TPicture.Create;
     P:=TPicture(pBMP);
     Picture1.Picture:=P;
end;

    or use TfrxReport.OnBeforePrint event

    or use TfrxPictureView(MainReport.FindObject('Picture2')).LoadPictureFromStream function

    Is your app databased? Can you insert this picture in a table (or maybe the picture is already in any table) and then use a query to get if and put on then band?

    I am new in FR. So I would like to know if the "in report's script" means to include the informed text in the property "frxReport1.ScriptText"? I don't need do anything inside the TFrxReport? I will appreciate any information related to passing a bitmap to a report. Thanks.

    Thank you for the help. Unfortunatelly, I can't see the image in the report. A blank page is visualized. No image is transfered.

    Did you change a path to your bitmap? 
    BMP.LoadFromFile('C:\Test.bmp');

    Yes, I did. In order to be sure if the image was loaded I have included in the form an Image.Bitmap. The image is correct in the form but doesn't appear in the report. Can be something related to image size?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
