Sure switching on the type of an argument to a setter would work, for some reason I thought the 'source' on an image was a style instead of a property. I try to expose as many styles as possibly for custom components so they're easily skinnable in CSS, but I guess there's no way to expose a style that allows multiple types. Would have to have iconClass and iconPath styles if I wanted it to be flexible for embedded or runtime assets.
Thanks for the reality check on SWFLoader, I was off in the weeds. On Sat, Apr 5, 2008 at 3:33 PM, Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oooops.
