Sebastian: Why don't you create your own component like the following then you can bind your component source to your variable then you can control size and effects etc. I prefer SWFLoader to loader and i don't know why but everyone says to use that instead
var box:Thumb = new Thumb(); box.pSource = "myURLtoMyImage"; And this way you have complete flexablilty. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="60" height="45" styleName="thumbUp" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Label; [Bindable] public var tLabel:String; [Bindable] public var pSource:String; private function init():void { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overEvent); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outEvent); } private function overEvent(e:MouseEvent):void { this.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFFFFFF,1,6,6,1,1)] } private function outEvent(e:MouseEvent):void { this.filters = [] } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:SWFLoader x="0" y="0" maintainAspectRatio="false" scaleContent="false" autoLoad="true" id="swfLoader" width="100%" height="100%" source="{pSource}" completeEffect="{fadeIn}"/> <mx:Label textAlign="right" right="0" bottom="0" color="#ffffff" fontSize="16" fontWeight="bold" fontFamily="Arial" text="{tLabel}"/> <mx:Fade id="fadeIn" alphaFrom="0" alphaTo="1" /> </mx:Canvas> Sebastian Zarzycki wrote: > > I'm using Loader class to dynamically load images from server, as it's > advised in "Loading content dynamically" of Programming ActionScript > 3.0 - Flex doc. > But there's one thing I don't understand.
