How to use image as pannel header?

[gv79]

hi all,

we here here are building a flex application for Laingorourke UK's domestic
housing solution, which will cater the dynamic needs of bussiness to collect
user/customer's feedback and selection on various components which will be
used/installed in his house.

Now the challenge, we have to macth the flex application to the corporate
branding ( [url]www.exploreliving.co.uk/test[/url] ). as in flex style explorer there are
header images used for pannels ( most probably ). We here also need the same.
Can anbody guide me to the link/resource from where i can get an idea of doing
the same.

Gaurav,

In Flex 2.0, you can do the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:Panel width="400" height="300" title="My Title"
titleBackgroundSkin="@Embed('header.gif')">
<mx:Button/>
<mx:TextInput/>
</mx:Panel>

</mx:Application>

You can also embed the image in a class and then use it..
[but its not the right way of prgramming. i mean images should be embedded
whenever required,, and not before.] But still the way to do it , can be shown
by following example

-------------
main1.mxml
---------------

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

">http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

</a> <mx:Button label="Icon Button" icon="@Embed(source='logo.gif')"/>
</mx:Application>

--------------
main2.mxml
------------------
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Embed(source="logo.gif")]
[Bindable]
public var imgCls:Class;
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Button label="Icon Button 1" icon="{imgCls}"/>
<mx:Button label="Icon Button 2" icon="{imgCls}"/>
