I didn't think of that (that it's a compile-time operation), thanks
for pointing that out, it makes sense now why it wouldn't be working.
So then let me ask this, is there another way to get to that symbol
without embedding the SWF? The example you give, although I'm sure
will work for me, still embeds it all up front (right?). I was
hoping to display that symbol on the fly only because we're talking
about close to 30 separate symbols, and that could grow as time goes
on.
Also right now I'm just trying to see how I can get the images
(symbols) to display dynamically so I'm not tied to anything other
than that Array. The Array holds country identification id's (US =
United States, CA=Canada, etc.). This Array is created from a
series of country ID's tied to the current Item they're looking at
(it could be 1 to 30 countries). Each symbol is named for the
specific ID. What I'm getting at is at this point I'm looking for
the best way to display that corresponding symbol with the ID so
when the user sees the country, they'll also see a little image of
the country.
Thanks,
Mark
