Unfortunately, because of the way the data is fetched from the server, the data required (i.e. the thumbnail URL) may not be back before the component is initialised, hence the binding. But your suggestion did point me in the direction of a fix... It seems that there was a problem initially setting the source as effectively a non-existant image and then overwriting that when the "proper" URL was actually retrieved. What I ended up doing was not initially specifying a source for the <mx:Image> tag, but then when the appropriate asset data had been retrieved from the server, using an explicit img.load() call to load the thumbnail. So now the image source gets (re)set when and only when the effective "source" is both a non-empty string and is different to the current source. Seems to be doing the job!
