I just built a carousel and had a lot of these issues, now the data for this
is comeing from an XML file, but that should not matter. You can not make a
panel backgroundImage dynamic, instead add a image to the panel like I did
below.
<mx:Repeater id="imageRepeater" dataProvider="{imageData.lastResult.panel}">
<mx:Panel id="MainPanel" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="
absolute" fontFamily="gunPlayCSS" fontWeight="bold"
title="{imageRepeater.currentItem.title}" width="450" height="253"
themeColor="#C4BA88" borderColor="#C4BA88" headerColors="#C4BA88"
roundedBottomCorners="true" cornerRadius="15" horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
verticalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:Image id="backgroundImage" source="{imageRepeater.currentItem.background
}" />
<mx:Text id="panelSub" x="109" y="24" width="316" height="33" htmlText="{
imageRepeater.currentItem.sub}" fontFamily="gunPlayCSS" fontSize="20"/>
<mx:TextArea id="panelBody" editable="false" alpha="0" x="109" y="56"
width="316" height="141" text="{imageRepeater.currentItem.body}"
fontFamily="gunPlayCSS" fontSize="15" textAlign="center" themeColor="#C4BA88
"/>
<mx:Text text="{imageRepeater.currentItem.linkText}" click="{navigateToURL(*
new* URLRequest(event.currentTarget.getRepeaterItem().link), *'_self'*);}"
x="109" y="195" fontFamily="gunPlayCSS" fontSize="14" height="22" color="
#2034F6" width="216"/>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Repeater>
