when you say load are you talking externally? or embedded in the
component swc? are we talking AS3? is this a new FLA based component for
AS3 or swc?
AS3 wraps the component at designtime with a livePreviewParent class and
it's running a swf essentially. So, you should be able to load an external
file without a problem. I'm building a component right now thats loading
XML and multiple images at design time in the IDE without any problem
without any special tricks. Although, i will say, you have to use an
absolute path - relative won't work from where the FLA is saved if that's
what you're assuming.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\ActionScript
3.0\Classes\fl\livepreview\LivePreviewParent.as

I dig around thinking this is just nuts.. there has to be a way, and most
of
the time I fake it and embed the image into the component or do some other
hokey workaround.
Well.. now I really need to have a component load an image during
livepreview
and I'm not finding a way. bah! Anybody out there have the
secret? Or.. is
it just not possible?
