This line: <mx:Loader id="container" source="Container.swf" />
does not load a swf file containing the embedded image into my application? That is news to me. The reason I want to do it is irrelevant to my question, but here it is: We have an animation that loads many images at once (external images). Even with the images in the browser's cache it is drastically slowing down the application. That embedded images are not loaded is exactly the point. We want to load a swf with several images embedded in it, then use those images in the animation. The point is, we want to load the images dynamically (externally), but not every time we change the source of Image. Just one time, ahead of time. Since when an Image "loads" an embedded image, we are not actually loading it at all, we are hoping we can load the container swf one time, then use its images as embedded images--thus avoiding the immediate load time every time we change source. What we want to do, in a nutshell, is load images dynamically, but all at once, and then just attach them from that moment on. The question is, can we attach an image embedded in the container swf into the loader swf, avoiding the external image load? HOW? The relationship between attachMovie and Image is very murky. An example, perhaps based on the code below, would be very nice, very helpful. You seem to know a lot about Flex and Flash, can you help, please?
