Flex 2 : Clearing the content of an Image Component
Just a quick tip, but if you need to clear the content of a Flex 2 Image component, just set the source to null:
Here is a simple example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute">
<mx:Image height="500" width="500"
id="imageLoader"
source="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0007NFMDK.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg"
completeEffect="Fade" horizontalCenter="0"/>
<mx:Button label="Clear Image" horizontalCenter="0" top="508"
click="imageLoader.source = null"/>
</mx:Application>
It is simple, but took me a while to figure out.
