Thanks JesterXL, I replaced: loader.load(request); mainVBox.addChild(loader);
-with- loader.load(request); var uic:UIComponent = new UIComponent(); mainVBox.addChild(uic); uic.addChild(loader); I do not get any runtime errors and best of all, the image renders correctly. Just curious, is this is how I should handle this or is this a bug with Flex2/AS3? Thanks again.
