Image.load not working with Flex!

[Russell2566]

The following code gets me zilch in my flex app. Is there an issue with Flex/AS3 or is there another method.

var image = Image.load("c:\\test.jpg");
trace(image.width);
trace(image.height);

I have downloaded and saved to disk a handful of images. I must now display those images on the screen and I'm having difficulties getting to this point.

[SWFKit]

Please copy the swfkit wrapper classes into your flex project directory, and import them by using the following code

import SWFKit.*;

The wrapper classes are in "c:\program files\swfkit pro\classes 3".

If you still cannot make it work, please send your project to us (support@swfkit.com), we'll help you to solve the problem.

Here is a demo app that does not work. My SWFKit folder is in the root. I should also mention that all of my other code using the SWFKit extensions DOES work! So far it's only the images that don't work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application 
	xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
	layout="absolute" 
	creationComplete="creationComplete();"
>


	<mx:Script>
		<![CDATA[
			import mx.controls.Alert;

			import SWFKit.*;

			private var testImage:SWFKit.Image = SWFKit.Image.load("c:\\test.jpg");

			private function creationComplete():void {
				debug.text += "\r" + "Image: " + testImage;
				debug.text += "\r" + "width: " + testImage.IsValid();
				debug.text += "\r" + "width: " + testImage.width;
				debug.text += "\r" + "height: " + testImage.height;
			}
		]]>
	</mx:Script>

	<mx:TextArea id="debug" top="10" left="10" bottom="10" width="350" text=" -------- Application Debug Log -------- " fontSize="14"/>

</mx:Application>

Looks like we find another solution and don't buy SWFKit.

Your code works well, but you must set the swfkit wrapper classes properly, as shown in the attached images.
