[flexcoders] referencing embedded images inside AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer

[Brandon Krakowsky]

I've embedded some images like so:

[Embed(source="images/image1.png")]
private var image1:Class;
        
[Embed(source="images/image2.png")]
private var image2:Class;

I can't seem to reference these class names from a String like so:

override public function set data(value:Object):void {
    img = new Image;
    img.source = getDefinitionByName(value.icon) as Class; 
//getDefinitionByName is part of flash.utils package
    img.width = 22;
    img.height = 22;
    addChild(img);
}

I also tried the following:
value.icon as Class
Class(value.icon)

Thanks,
Brandon
