[Xerte] Re-using an icon to loadVars

[Julian Tenney]

I'd try:

If (this.icon.rawData != undefined){
  //we've been here before - do whatever it takes to kill it

}

//then carry on as before

//and check it's changed
debug(this.icon.rawData);

OK, I'm looking at:

this.icon.rawData = src;

Is that adding the rawData prop to the object?
i.e. is it best to remove the prop and let it be re-added or clear it?
rawData = null;
rawData = '';

??
