Hi everyone--

Is it possible to embed images (jpgs) in one MovieClip, then load that
SWF into another MovieClip and use those images in the loader? We are
trying to avoid reloading an image each time we need it, but still
load them dynamically. We'd like to do this: (We're using Flex, but
this is really an AS question I think, about accessing resources from
one SWF in another SWF). This example is in Flex, but the real work, I
expect, is in AS. If you can tell me how to do it in AS, I can get it
working in flex.)

Container.swf:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Script>
[Embed(source="images/myimage.jpg")]
public var img: String;
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

Then, load that SWF and use its embedded image:

Loader.swf:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Loader id="container" source="Container.swf" />
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="the_image" source="container.content.img" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>

It looks like this should work, and the "resource" string is properly
being passed to the_image (something like
__Resource.43234564.myimage_jpg) but it cannot actually load; we get a
broken image instead.

I'm guessing I somehow need to register the object library of the
Container.swf with my Loader.swf? How?

Or, is this whole enterprise impossible?

Thank you!



Greg
