How to display logos in Flex 3.2?


I have been given the unenviable task of displaying a logo on a flex 3.2 form on our website. I'm learning flex as I go, and I can embed a logo now.

The problem is, I need to display a different logo, depending on which client the user works for. And I need to have it working by end of day, Friday, August 30th. As in, this Friday.

This is the code I have for embedding the logo:

<mx:GridRow width="100%" height="100%">
    <mx:GridItem width="100%" height="100%" colSpan="6">
        <mx:Image width="180" source="@Embed('/assets/images/logo.JPG')"/>
    </mx:GridItem>
</mx:GridRow>

So, what I need to know is, is there any way to get Flex 3.2 to display a different logo for each client? The above code obviously isn't going to do it.

As a further bit of info, we do have the logos as blobs in the Oracle database.

Thanks for any help.


Solution

  • You need not embed, you can give path to the images on the server. like

     <mx:Image width="180" source="http://somedomain.com/images/logo.JPG" 
    id='image'/>
    

    OR, using the id of the image component, you can assign the logo dynamically, like the following

    private function onCreationcomplete(e:FlexEvent):void
    {
    if(client ='xxyy'){
     image.source = 'http://somedomain.com/images/xxyy.JPG ';
    }
    }
