I am loading images from an xml file into Flex and then into an Image Control. Once the xml gets loaded I use the data property to load the first image into the Image Control. How can I apply effects to the loaded image? I can only get the effects to work if the image is initially specified in the <mx:Image> tag. I also tried using mainImg.hideEffect="WipeRightUp", however this throws an error.
|| DOESN'T WORK || mainImg.data="image1.jpg" <mx:Image id="mainImg" x="273" y="133" dataChange="imgLoaded(event)" scaleContent="true" autoLoad="true" hideEffect="WipeRightUp"/> mainImg.visible = false; // hide effect (should) start || WORKS || <mx:Image id="mainImg" x="273" y="133" source="image1.jpg" scaleContent="true" autoLoad="true" hideEffect="WipeRightUp"/> mainImg.visible = false; // hide effect starts Thanks for any and all replies.
