Question

I have to implement a menu with icons using actionscript only.
I create a data provider from XML and set

menu = Menu.createMenu(null, dataArray, true);
menu.iconFunction = iconFunction;

Till here everything is fine and my menu is presented, but only with labels.
I create iconFunction as following:

private function iconFunction(item:Object):Class
{
   var st:Loader = new Loader();
   st.load(new URLRequest(item.icon));
   return ?;
}

and here’s my question: how do I return my loader object as Class?
I’m googling this for hours and cannot find something relevant.

Thanks a lot!
