Question

I have to create the image object using something like this

[Embed("/assets/images/Header.png")]  
public static var HeaderIcon:Class;  

but now the string within embedd is dynamically brought from some xml
like xmlObject.child("icon"); which I tried it like

[Embed(xmlObject.child('icon').toString())]  
public static var HeaderIcon:Class;  

However it gives errors like

invalid metadata

I am using the above code in action script(as is obvious)
Is there any way to solve this?

Answer 1

You need to use the Loader class: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Loader.html

It’s a bit more complicated than with embedded resources, but there are good examples in the documentation.
