Used to draw points and multipoints on the graphics layer using an image. The image format can be either JPG, GIF, PNG, SWF or SVG. While SVG images must be embedded within the application, all other image formats can be either embedded within the application or referenced by URL.


Example
MXML usage of PictureMarkerSymbol with embedded image: 
 <esri:PictureMarkerSymbol id="pms_embedded" source="@Embed(source='assets/fire.gif')"/>

MXML usage of PictureMarkerSymbol using URL to image: 
 <esri:PictureMarkerSymbol
     id="pms_by_url"
     source="http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/flex/samples/assets/blue_1.gif"/>
