Embedding Resources/Images/JPG/PNG/SWF with AS3

If you are wondering how you can add sexy JPG or fantastic PNG or "copied/borrowed" SWF to your boring SWF without editing the FLA, then below is an example on how to do it. 

In this example, I will show you how to add an image to stage after using the embed statement.

package {

  public class EmbedResourcesExample1 {

    [Embed(source="../images/HelloWorld.png", mimeType="image/png")]

    private var MyImage:Class;

    public function EmbedResourcesExample1() : void {

      var image:Bitmap = new MyImage();

      addChild(image);

    }

  }

}

This next example, I will show you how to embed a SWF to your main SWF.

package {

  public class EmbedResourcesExample2 {

    [Embed(source="../images/HelloWorld.swf", symbol="hello")]

    private var MySWF:Class;

    public function EmbedResourcesExample2() : void {

      var mySWF:Sprite = new MySWF();

      addChild(mySWF);

    }

  }

}

And there you have it.  With the above samples, you can now successfully add JPGs or PNGs or SWFs to your main SWF file.
