I have a program that is calling a large number of PNG files from a separate
source folder. A few of these images are far too big (in excess of 200KB) and
they refuse to load.
Selecting an item in a datagrid opens this function:
private function showImage(event:Event):void
{
var colName:Object = event.target.selectedItem.image;
imageBox.source = "New Folder/" + colName;
var size:int = imageBox.bytesLoaded;
imageName = colName.toString();
if(size > 200000)
{
message.text = "";
imageBox.source = "New Folder/TooBig.png";
}
else
{
message.text = "";
}
}

If the image is under 200KB (roughly), the image loads into the imagebox. If
it is higher than 200KB, the imagebox does nothing, however, clicking any image
after that, including ones that do display, sends the file size too high and my
back up picture (TooBig.png) is loaded instead. I have tried clearing the
image loaded, but I can't seem to get it to stop loading the large images.
