I haven’t used this approach in external CSS files as the application design hasn’t called for that. This approach has been most useful for inline images or when setting styles using the setStyle() method in an ActionScript class. So that may leave you with just declaring inline style references on an element, or at best, declaring in your MXML.

I know exactly what you mean! I’d write something in PHP or similar that recursively worked through a directory structure and created a text file with the ActionScript in it. Then that can just be copied over to the Flex project.

Perhaps not an ideal solution but it works well enough.

I’d like to add a library of 1000 images – do I really have to repeat this 1000 times??? Because that would really suck!

[Embed(source="assets/images/IMAGENAME.png")]
public static const BOMB:Class;

Any way to just look at a directory and create a class for each image in it dynamically – name of the class being the fileName without the extension. Do you know how to do that?

Nice post.

I thought about doing the exact same thing but how do you reference these icons from a CSS file?
