Description

I am writing a sort of Image Viewers with Flex 2 - loading and displaying image files resided in local disk.
Using mx.controls.Image class, I could load and display the JPG / GIF / PNG files at runtime.
But I could not do the BMP files with the Image class (or control); what I get is only broken-image icon.
Still I don't understand why the BMP format files are not included in the "Bitmap object".

How can I load / display BMP files in Flex 2 MXML application?

Thanks in Advance,
