I’ve just noticed that there was an issue with the code that I posted.

An ampersand was encoded incorrectly, so copying/pasting the code would have required a change to get things up and running.

Hopefully all is ok now.

Hi Audrey,

thanks for your comment! I’m yet to try the Gravatar in Flash Builder 4, so it’s a great heads up! :)

Hey, Guys. Thanks for this post!

Just to let you know, in case someone else gets stuck as I did, if you’re using Flash Builder 4, and attempt to load the image from gravatar into a newly created Spark component you will get an error: Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2123: Security sandbox violation:

This is happening because BitmapImage, behind the scenes is trying to access LoaderInfo.content, which is not allowed from a remote domain based on crossdomain.xml file on Gravatar, however if you continue to use mx:Image component everything should work as shown in this article.

Just one suggestion … I had to move the call of the gravatar to commitProperties() function, otherwhise it’ll not work if email is changing at runtime via binding …
