Either the Flash Player is using the browser's cache or it isn't. If
you're seeing server calls (either through a sniffer like Charles or
in your server logs), then it isn't.
I think you should write your own component that grabs the actual
Loader object from your own in-memory cache.
// Setter method in your custom component.
public function set url(value:String):void
{
_url = value;
var image:Loader = cache[_url];
if (!image) {
image = new Loader();
image.load(_url);
cache[_url] = image;
}
addChild(image);
...
}
And so on.
Update: Ah! It seems that SuperImage already does something like that.
Check that out.
