Hi,
I am new to flex and just learning how to use it. I was wondering whether it is possible to load vector images at runtime? i hope i am not asking something silly :-)

hi,

no this is not a silly question ;)

there are some svg libraries available and written in as3, try to google on the subject, though i cannot say how good they are since i never used them.

svg is a vector file format

another way could be to save the vectors as swf and load them using the swfloader component

greetings

Thank you Martin. I will look for svg libraries then.

You can use the regular Image control to load SVG, but you'll have to embed it (can't load at run time). E.g.,

<mx:Image width="600" height="400" source="@Embed('images/xyz.svg')"/>
