Invalid Embed directive

[oneworld95-2]

Hi. I've got a Style tag with the following style in it,

Application {
  background-image: Embed(source="global/media/flowers.jpg");
  }

I keep getting the "Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet - can't
resolve source." I know the image exists and is at that path. Help!

[Jim Hayes-2]

It can be confusing as to where the file thinks it is at compile time - in fact I remain fairly confused about it :(
You might try "/global/media/flowers.jpg" or "./global/media/flowers.jpg" if you need to go up a directory then ../ works fine.

The compiler expects that image path to be in one of your project source
folders during build. If that path exists in your bin folder only, the
compiler will never see it for an embed operation.

And the path is relative to where you are declaring the mx:Style that
loads the stylesheet file, of course. :)

and if you are compiling the CSS for runtime loads, the path will be
different yet again

Thanks. This finally worked for me,

Application {
  backgroundImage: "global/media/flowers.jpg";
 }

I'm guessing Embed directives are checked at compile time and for
whatever reason, Flex compiler couldn't find the file.

You can also use a source path like this from any source file:

/../     EX: source="/../assets/images/logo.gif"

to get to the base of the src folder and then back out of it.
