Is it possible to dynamically load an image/resources embed in a SWF?

Question

Hi all,
   i have created a flex library project, just containing images (.GIF)...etc.
   And i create another flex application project that merge the .GIF files into the final SWF application.
  based on the current time, i want to display different pictures (e.g. sun.GIF, moon.GIF, star.GIF...etc..there are many images) in the application right-top corner.
  as, i know, <mx:image/> just work with static image reference for embedded resource.
(<mx:image source="@Embed('sun.GIF'))"/>).
  i search by google, it seems that, for embedded image or resource, you can't load it dynamically.
  the following code don't work.
  e.g. var mmm:Image = new Image();
               mmm.source = fileName;
               mmm.load();
  anybody find the solution???
  thank you.

Hi,
  i have tried this method before, but, again, it don't work for embedded resource. IO error will be thrown, with error message.
IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2036: Load Never Completed. URL: file:///E:/Flex/TmpAssetApp/bin-debug/@Embed(source='images/sun.GIF')"]
(the GIF is in a folder called images)
SWFLoader/Loader can only load file dynamically from URL, but not embedded resource?? (by syntax @Embed(source='xxx'))??
my sample code:
=======================================
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            [Bindable]
            private var fileName:String = "@Embed(source='images/last.GIF')";
             * Show the image
            private function showImage(event:flash.events.MouseEvent):void{
                fileName = fileTxt.text;
                dynaLoader.source = "@Embed(source='" + fileName + "')";
                //dynaLoader.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.COMPLETE, ss);
                //dynaLoader.addEventListener(flash.events.IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ff); 
                dynaLoader.load();
            private function ss(event:flash.events.Event):void{
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("result1\n" + event);
            private function ff(event:flash.events.IOErrorEvent):void{
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("result2\n" + event);
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:SWFLoader height="305" left="10" right="10" bottom="10" id="dynaLoader" autoLoad="true" source="{fileName}" ioError="ff(event)" complete="ss(event)"/>
=======================================
   Do you know any other solution?
  thank you.
