How to return sprite object?

Question

I want to load two picture and add every picture to every sprite object,such as picture a to sprite1 and picture b to spriteb,I know I can load a pictue by following code:

loadImage('a');
loadImage('b');
private function loadImage(imagePath:String):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest(imagePath));
}
private function onImageLoaded(event:Event):Sprite{
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo=event.target as LoaderInfo;
_loadedBitmap=loaderInfo.content as Bitmap;
return runPostImageLoad(_sprite);
}
private function runPostImageLoad(_sprite:Sprite):Sprite{
...//load picture
}

But I want to make my code like following code,because I want to use sprite1 and sprite2 to do other thing:
var sprite1:Sprite=loadImage('a');
var sprite2:Sprite=loadImage('b');

I don't know how to modify loadImage function to return sprite object. Anyone could tell me how to do it?

Thanks

use:private var _sprite:Sprite;..private function loadImage(imagePath:String):Sprite{ var loader:Loader = new Loader();loader.name="loader"; loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded); loader.load(new URLRequest(imagePath));_sprite=new Sprite(); _sprite.addChild("loader");return _sprite}private function onImageLoaded(event:Event):void{ var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo=event.target as LoaderInfo; _loadedBitmap=loaderInfo.content as Bitmap; runPostImageLoad();}private function runPostImageLoad():void{ //only draw the irregular part shape if(_loadedBitmap....){_sprite.removeChild(_sprite.getChildByName("loader")); _sprite.graphics.drawRect(...);  }}p.s. please mark correct and helpful answers.

you can use the following but your sprite won't have any width/height until loading is complete. and you can access the loader via the sprite by applying the getChildByName("loader") method to your sprite:

private function loadImage(imagePath:String):Sprite{

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

loader.name="loader";

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded);

loader.load(new URLRequest(imagePath));

var s:Sprite=new Sprite();

s.addChild(loader);

}
