These are images which get fed a different source in different states, through a <mx:SetProperty/> (to make a slide show with captions). The above code worked in the starting state (which is not the same as the base state) but then didn't work in subsequent states. I don't understand why that would be the case. I suppose I could insert a <mx:SetProperty/> for the autoLoad and a <mx:SetEventHandler/> for the complete event in each state but there must be a more elegant solution. Thank you very much for your response.
