If you embed an image, you're not "loading" anything; it's merely attaching the img Class to your MovieClip's DisplayList ( attachMovie in 1.5). Thus there is no point; just bind them all to img since they are all using the same resource.
External images are a different story. ----- Original Message ----- From: "greg556" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 7:08 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Embed images in one MovieClip, use in another? 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!
