Look up the Loader{} class for loading images - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Loader.html
Added some code - (wish code in comments could be formatted as code)
From your comment, it looks like you would have gotten it. What you were missing was that you needed to call the Loader object's load() method and pass in the URLRequest object to it. Here is some code that does this loosely following your previous code:
private function buttonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
this.addChild(loader);
switch(e.target.name) {
case "z_cst":
loader.load(new URLRequest("/data/1.jpg"));
break;
case "z_kp":
loader.load(new URLRequest("/data/2.jpg"));
break;
case "z_kr":
loader.load(new URLRequest("/data/3.jpg"));
break;
default:
trace("buttonClick() - No matching name found");
this.removeChild(loader); // remove the Loader object from the stage as it is 'empty'
break;
}
}
I added the 'default' block to the switch block to help check for possible errors. A Loader object is a display object, so you can position it just like any other display object.
