Loaders are driven programmatically - although you can include references in MXML. <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function activateLoader():void { myUrlLoader.load( myUrlRequest ); } ]]> </mx:Script> <net:URLRequest id="myUrlRequest" url="image.jpg"/> <net:URLLoader id="myUrlLoader"/> 2 .

I need to load a Bitmap (.jpg) file using Flex3. Now I've read a bunch of code that describes how to do this using ActionScript 3. But I'm not very sure how Flex 3 and AS3 interact. I've got the Flex 3 Builder Eclipse Plugin and I was hoping I could find an example of loading an image using the <mx:Loader> tag. But strangely I do not see many posts on this forum for this. Could it be that this is the "wrong" way to load an image using Flex? So, specifically, can someone: 1. Provide me with an example of using <mx:Loader> to load a .jpg file. 2. Show me a simple example of how Flex3 tags and AS3 interact. For example, if I wanted to build all UI components using Flex, but do all Image manipulation using AS3. Thanks in advance! Pankaj
