Douglas and Justin, Thanks for the response. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm sorry if this was so trivial but I've just been doing learning flex since this past Monday so today is my fifth day.
Jason, as to your comment you made about memory leak, don't think I understand it quite well as far using a custom component since I'm new to flex. I guess with time it will all make sense. Thanks.

If you removeChild(image) image will NOT get garbage collected and end in memory leak type situation. I might end up creating a custom component, ImageWithLoader or some name, in your shoes. Maybe use states to control showing the progressbar or not. Depends on how many images you anticipate managing.

I know in the <mx:Image > tag I can specify complete="completeHandler(event)" but I'm trying to do it dynamically and not in the <mx:Image > tag. Thanks.
