According to adobe flex docs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=controls_15.html
Using the image multiple times
You can use the same image multiple times in your application using the standard image import syntax each time. Flex downloads the image only once, and then downloads the downloaded image as many times as needed.
However, when testing, we found that if you request the same image (the same url, etc.) in IE flash 9/10, a new HTTP request will not be issued, but with Firefox, Safari (PC and MAC) A new request is always issued.
I want the image not to be pulled from the server every time I try to use it, who has an idea why this only works in IE?
