first off, you don't want to save them in your src folder since this is only
available at compile time and not in the deployed application. Also, if you
are deploying to a Mac, you can't save things in your application directory,
this will give you a security error, you should rather save to the documents
directory or the application storage directory.
Since you are working with an air application, there really is no need to
embed them in the application, these resources will be available immediately
from the local file system, (also embeding them will mean they are part of
your swf and thus unchangeable).
So take a step back and think about it again.
What I propose is the following, check if the image exists in your storage
directory (if that is where you save it) if not, load the image from the
application directory, which is the image which you packaged into the
installer.
