Kushubhai, Doug is correct. @Embed is a compile-time directive. Therefore, in order to reference the image dynamically, you will have to embed the image and associate it with a variable.
Typically, I will create a class (appnameAssets.as) that contains all of the embedded assets for my application. I then instantiate that class on an 'assets' property of my ModelLocator. Then I can reference the embedded image dynamically as ... source="{ ModelLocator.assets.myImage }" ...
