Question

Hi,

I am trying to add a link to an image using ActionScript. I do not see the link no matter what. Below is my code, Can you please suggest what am I doing wrong.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application creationComplete="application1_creationCompleteHandler(event)" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Button;
            import mx.controls.Image;
            import mx.events.FlexEvent;

            protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {               
                var but:Button = new Button();
                but.label = "BUT";
                uic.addChild(but);
                      var dollLoader:Loader=new Loader();  
                                dollLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dollCompleteHandler);  
                                var dollRequest:URLRequest =  new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif");  
                                dollLoader.load(dollRequest);  
                                uic.addChild(dollLoader);  

                }

            private function dollCompleteHandler(event:Event):void   
                        {  


                        }  

        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:UIComponent id="uic" width="100%" height="100%">

    </mx:UIComponent>

</mx:Application>

Two suggestions:

1. The button is being covered up by the image because of the order you are adding them. Add the button after the image instead of before it.

2. You won't be able to see the button unless you specify a height & width.

Ex:

but.width = 100;
but.height = 100;
