Add image to MovieClip AS3

I have created i class width I inherit from with u number of subclasses. Now i what to add different images to the subclasses. Since I'm new to Flash and AS3 i have some problems to complete this.

Blend.as

package com.jarsater.sthlmroast
{
    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    public class Blend extends MovieClip
    {  
        private var _width:int = 54;
        private var _height:int = 188;  

    public function Blend():void
    {
        this.width = this._width;
        this.height = this._height;
    }
}

Dark.as

package
{
    import com.jarsater.sthlmroast.Blend

    public class Dark extends Blend
    {
         public function Dark()
         {
             super();
             this.setBlend('Dark');
         }
    }
}

How can i add an image to the Dark.as object and then place the object on the stage?

How to load an image:

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('path_to_image.png');
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoadComplete);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onImageLoadError);
loader.load(request);


function onImageLoadComplete(e:Event):void
{
    trace('onImageLoadComplete()');
    var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(e.target);
    loaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoadComplete);
    loaderInfo.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onImageLoadError);

    var bitmap:Bitmap = Bitmap(loaderInfo.content);
    addChild(bitmap)
}

function onImageLoadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
{
    trace('onImageLoadError(): ' + e.text);
    var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(e.target);
    loaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoadComplete);
    loaderInfo.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onImageLoadError);
}

In this example I add the bitmap to the display list but you could just as easily add the Loader object depending on your needs.

You could load in the image, inside the Dark class, through XML. Once you've loaded in the image data you can add it to a MovieClip and add that to the stage. There are plenty of tutorials online which will help you with loading from XML (it's very straight forward), but here's one I found which should help:

Good luck!
