Hi, not directly, you need to embed the resource and assign a name to it:
// somewhere in you code [Embed("test.gif")] public var testIcon:String; this makes the resource available through the testIcon identifier. Later on you can assign the icon by doing myButton = myComp.createChild(mx.controls.Button, "cancelButton", {label: "Cancel", icon: testIcon}); Cheers, Dirk. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of r_woess Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 10:35 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Adding Icons with Actionscript Hi, I want to add an icon to a button at runtime. I watched the generated as-File and the button <mx:Button icon="@Embed('test.gif')"/> was generated to this code: new mx.core.UIObjectDescriptor({ type: mx.controls.Button, id: Button7", _properties: function() { return { icon: "__Resources.0967270563.Palfinger_Rhino_2_jpg" }; }}), Is there a possibility to add icons like this?: myButton=myComp.createChild(mx.controls.Button, "cancelButton", {label: "Cancel", icon:"@Embed('test.gif')"}); best regards reini ------------------------ Yahoo!
