If you want to do it purely in MXML, I would just use a [Bindable] variable.
So you can do this:
<mx:Image id="myImage" source="{myvar}"/>
Then you can change the variable "myvar" to store any image you like and it
will automatically update the mxml.
So to add what Alex wrote you could do this:
<local:myContainerComponent id=”containerComponent”>
<local:imageVar>
<mx:Image source=”{myvar}” />
</local:imageVar>
</local:myContainerComponent>
