Hmm, I might be misunderstanding what you're looking for. I think you're
asking how to get the source of the image at run time. Source being the image
content itself. As an example if you were to use the ResourceManager, you can
get the source of the image at runtime by doing the following.
_icon1 = this.resourceManager.getClass("imageBundle","iconForState0");
_icon2 = this.resourceManager.getClass("imageBundle","iconForState1");
This can be more dynamic than using the Embed metatag, as you can use a
variable to supply the "resourceName" parameter of getClass and pull in any of
the images in the resource bundle dynamically at runtime.
