Instead of loading the image for a second time you could just copy the raw bitmap data of the loaded image using something like this:
http://www.flex2components.com/f2cblog/2006/05/18/flex2-dnd-bitmap-copy/ I follow this approach when creating drag proxies in order to get a "copy" of the item being dragged. Tim On 26 Mar 2007 03:59:26 -0700, Paolo Bernardini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi I was following the last example on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/adding_drag_and_drop/ I'm having a problem when I replace embedded images with dynamic URLs. this is the part of the code that I'm having problem with: // Create a copy of the coin image to use as a drag proxy. var dragProxy:Image = new Image(); dragProxy.source = event.currentTarget.source; if the source is embedded like in the example ([Embed("assets/5c.png")]) it works fine, but when replaced with a dynamic image, I can't see the proxy image been dragged. Has anyone else found this problem? any solution? by Paolo
