Wow, this is one of these things that really breaked my head.
I was reading a tutorial about how to embed an icon on an Alert box you can find it here btw 
[FlexExamples.com - Setting an Icon in an Alert Control]
As you see the image is being embedded with
1 2 3 4 | // Embed the error.png image. [Bindable] [Embed(source='assets/error.png')] private var Icon:Class; |
Somehow my Flex environment constantly throws an error telling me “Unable to resolve ‘assets/error.png’ for transcoding”
Well.. that’s weird, I have my flex project pretty clean and tidy, I also check for upper/lower case, where I’m definately bad at..
After a while moving images, re-writing slashes I came up with the conclusion that as soon as you embed an image into your flex app and the image is located in a folder you need to start with a slash before the folder name.
eg. You have an image located on
1 | [Embed(source='/assets/error.png')] |
Just wanted to share this with you guys, since it’s not very obvious in my eyes..
Have a good one
