Log Message:

***********

Add support for external images to BitmapImage.

• Load external JPG, PNG, and GIF images (SWF loading not supported)

• External images need to be on the same server as the application, or have an appropriate crossdomain.xml file on the server.

• When loading an external image, keep the current image displayed until the external image is loaded. This allows a local proxy image to be used while the external image is loading.

• Events for ioError and securityError. BitmapImage will not automatically show a broken image icon. If you want one, handle these events and set the source to a broken image.

Note: setting BitmapImage.source to the name of a class (type String) is no longer supported. You can still use a class reference (type Class).
