i added a creationComplete event into the mix and seems to work
var testImage:Image = new Image();
testImage.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, trythis);
//testImage.source = "{imgCls}";
this.addChild(testImage);
public function trythis(e:FlexEvent):void
{
Image(e.currentTarget).load(imgCls);
}
