mx:Image problem

[xWouterx]

Hello

I have a silly problem and I'm looking for an easy answer

I have an image component in my application and I wanted to set the source which I did like this:

<mx:Image id="movieImage" source="../../assets/movieImages/300.png"/>

That didn't work so I changed it so that it would work like this:

<mx:Image id="movieImage" source="@Embed(source='../../assets/movieImages/300.png')"/>

Ok so I've got that... Now I want to set the source via actionscript 3 code so I tried the following 2 things:

movieImage.source = "../../assets/movieImages/300.png"

and

movieImage.source = "@Embed(source='../../assets/movieImages/300.png')"

They both did not work... Does anyone know how to set the source of an image via code?

Thanks

movieImage.source = "" should work. I think the problem is related to the same reason that <mx:Image /> didn't work. <mx:Image /> should have worked for you

Sorry... I seem to have missed your solution. Could you please rephrase it a bit?

There shouldn't be anything wrong with movieImage.source = ""; I think the reason that it's not working for you is related to the same reason that <mx:Image /> isn't working for you.

And, <mx:Image /> SHOULD work, but you said it doesn't. So, I imagine the problem it is related to something else in your code, or that the image doesn't exist in that path, or something.

Hmmm yeah.. well maybe I just have to wait till I start my clean project... Just programming till everything works and then start over to clean up the code... Might get better then

problem solved... Had to do with the fact that it was an AIR application
