Re: [flexcoders] loading image with AS and Loader

2007-04-10 Thread Daniel Freiman 

Only UIComponents (or IUIComponents) can be added as a child to Containers.
Loader is not a UIComponent and I assume this is the Application and thus
a Container.  You're either going to need to add the Loader to a UIComponent
and add that component to the application, or you can use
mx.controls.SWFLoader, which is similar to the Loader but a UIComponent.

I'm trying it in my creationComplete callback and get this error:

cannot coerce the Loader into an IUIComponent.

What am I doing wrong here?

What doc was this in? It won't work if 'this' is a Flex Container,
because a Container expects that its children are IUIComponents.
 
If you're putting an image into a Flex Container, you should be using a
Flex Image control, not a low-level Flash Loader.
