Not sure if it helps, but you could try holding the repeater index in a control’s data property, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/10/03/displaying-images-from-an-xml-file-using-the-repeater-component/ -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white">
 
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
 
            private function myFunction(idx:uint):void {
                Alert.show(idx.toString());
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
 
    <mx:ArrayCollection id="arrColl" source="[One,Two,Three,Four,Five]" />
 
    <mx:HBox id="hBox">
        <mx:Repeater id="rr" dataProvider="{arrColl}">
            <mx:Button label="{rr.currentItem}"
                    data="{rr.currentIndex}"
                    click="myFunction(event.currentTarget.data);" />
        </mx:Repeater>
    </mx:HBox>
 
</mx:Application>

click=”myFunction(rr.currentIndex)” does not work…

When I embed imagess using : “”
it works FINE.

But When I use “”
then the resulting swf embeded into a HTML page does not show…

Irrespective of pulling images from XML or even staticly as I’ve shown above.

I have a feeling it’s something to do with ‘use-network’… I’ve tried this approach to no avail (setting it to true and false.)

PLEASE SOMEONE Hlep Me!

Alternatively knowing that ” synatx works fine when using the swf on my webroot…… how can I edit the below XML repeater Image syntax

source=”{rep.currentItem.@src}” to a version which EMBEDS the image.

Hence the swf works (displays images) when I use EMBED (hence embeding images at COMPILE TIME) but when using the RUN TIME version [ source=”{rep.currentItem.@src}” ] then it wont work for me.

Please someone hit me back.

It helped me a lot… Flexexamples.com ROCKS!

Any chance you know how to get icons from a resource manager and NOT embedded ?
