The following example shows how you can use a dynamically loaded image as a Spark Border container background by using an MX SWFLoader control and setting the backgroundImage style to the SWFLoader control’s content property.

Full code after the jump.

And a big thanks to Jason Szeto for the clever SWFLoader trick!

The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/. To download the latest nightly build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.

This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.

</s:Application>

You can also set the backgroundImage and backgroundImageFillMode styles in an external .CSS file or <Style/> block, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
 
        s|Border {
            backgroundImage: Embed("fx_appicon-tn.gif");
            backgroundImageFillMode: repeat;
            borderColor: haloOrange;
            borderWeight: 10;
        }
    </fx:Style>
 
    <s:Border id="brdr"
            width="320" height="240"
            horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:Label id="sdkVer"
                color="haloOrange"
                fontSize="48"
                fontWeight="bold"
                left="20" top="20"
                creationComplete="sdkVer.text = mx_internal::VERSION;" />
    </s:Border>
 
</s:Application>

Or you can set the backgroundImage and backgroundImageFillMode styles using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/11/16/setting-a-background-image-fill-on-a-spark-border-container-in-flex-4/ -->

        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
    <s:controlBarContent>
        <s:Graphic click="brdr.setStyle('backgroundImage', cfFill);">
            <s:BitmapImage source="{cfFill}" />
        </s:Graphic>
        <s:Graphic click="brdr.setStyle('backgroundImage', flPlayerFill);">
            <s:BitmapImage source="{flPlayerFill}" />
        </s:Graphic>
        <s:Graphic click="brdr.setStyle('backgroundImage', fxFill);">
            <s:BitmapImage source="{fxFill}" />
        </s:Graphic>
    </s:controlBarContent>
 
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            [Embed("cf_appicon-tn.gif")]
            protected const cfFill:Class;
 
            [Embed("fl_player_appicon-tn.gif")]
            protected const flPlayerFill:Class;
 
            [Embed("fx_appicon-tn.gif")]
            protected const fxFill:Class;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
 
    <s:Border id="brdr"
            backgroundImage="{fxFill}"
            backgroundImageFillMode="repeat"
            borderWeight="10"
            width="320" height="240"
            horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:Label id="sdkVer"
                color="haloOrange"
                fontSize="48"
                fontWeight="bold"
                left="20" top="20"
                creationComplete="sdkVer.text = mx_internal::VERSION;" />
    </s:Border>
 
</s:Application>

You can also set the background image by setting the backgroundFill property to a BitmapFill object, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/11/16/setting-a-background-image-fill-on-a-spark-border-container-in-flex-4/ -->
<s:Application name="Spark_Border_backgroundImage_test"
        xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
 
    <s:Border id="brdr"
            borderColor="haloOrange"
            borderWeight="10"
            width="320" height="240"
            horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:backgroundFill>
            <s:BitmapFill source="@Embed('fx_appicon-tn.gif')" fillMode="repeat" />
        </s:backgroundFill>
        <s:Label id="sdkVer"
                color="haloOrange"
                fontSize="48"
                fontWeight="bold"
                left="20" top="20"
                creationComplete="sdkVer.text = mx_internal::VERSION;" />
    </s:Border>
 
</s:Application>

Or you could embed the image using ActionScript and use data binding to define the BitmapFill object’s source property, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/11/16/setting-a-background-image-fill-on-a-spark-border-container-in-flex-4/ -->
<s:Application name="Spark_Border_backgroundImage_test"
        xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
 
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            [Embed("fx_appicon-tn.gif")]
            private const fxFill:Class;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
 
    <s:Border id="brdr"
            borderColor="haloOrange"
            borderWeight="10"
            width="320" height="240"
            horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:backgroundFill>
            <s:BitmapFill source="{fxFill}" fillMode="repeat" />
        </s:backgroundFill>
        <s:Label id="sdkVer"
                color="haloOrange"
                fontSize="48"
                fontWeight="bold"
                left="20" top="20"
                creationComplete="sdkVer.text = mx_internal::VERSION;" />
    </s:Border>
 
</s:Application>

Or you could declare the BitmapFill object in an <fx:Declarations/> tag and use data binding to set the backgroundFill property, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/11/16/setting-a-background-image-fill-on-a-spark-border-container-in-flex-4/ -->
<s:Application name="Spark_Border_backgroundImage_test"
        xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
 
    <fx:Declarations>
        <s:BitmapFill id="fxFill" source="@Embed('fx_appicon-tn.gif')" fillMode="repeat" />
    </fx:Declarations>
 
    <s:Border id="brdr"
            backgroundFill="{fxFill}"
            borderColor="haloOrange"
            borderWeight="10"
            width="320" height="240"
            horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:Label id="sdkVer"
                color="haloOrange"
                fontSize="48"
                fontWeight="bold"
                left="20" top="20"
                creationComplete="sdkVer.text = mx_internal::VERSION;" />
    </s:Border>
 
</s:Application>
