embedding icon in spark button bar

I'm tryng to embed icons in a button bar, but the actual icons dont get embedded, the objects do -so that my buttons show as [Object] when the app runs.

I've tried this
<s:ButtonBar id="ButBar" change="ChangeHandler(event);" width="310" x="222" y="35">
<s:dataProvider>
<s:ArrayList>
   <fx:Object icon="@Embed(source='images/identify_1.png')"/>
   <fx:Object icon="@Embed(source='images/zoomin_1.png')"/>
   <fx:Object icon="@Embed(source='images/zoomout_1.png')"/>
   <fx:Object icon="@Embed(source='images/pan_1.png')"/>
   <fx:Object icon="@Embed(source='images/FullExtent.png')"/>
</s:ArrayList>
</s:dataProvider>
</s:ButtonBar>

and also this:
[Bindable]
[Embed(source="images/identify_1.png")]
public var identifyMap:Class;

<s:ButtonBar id="ButBar" change="ChangeHandler(event);" width="310" x="222" y="35">
<s:dataProvider>
<s:ArrayList>
   <fx:Object icon="{identifyMap}"/>
     </s:ArrayList>
</s:dataProvider>
</s:ButtonBar>

Both approaches do the same -- is it because of the arrayList data provider maybe? cant use any array dataprovider with the spark button bar. Any ideas

Thanks

Pete

I changed from spark buttonbar to mx togglebuttonbar and spark data provider to mx dataprovider and it worked -- no idea why
