overlaying grid to a dynamic image

I need to overlay a grid(grid2) result from a dataset over an dynamic image that is result of another dataset, and is positioned on other grid's(grid1) cell, I try to make it changing the Background property in the grid(grid1) cell but it only admit URL or embedded image(i need it can be dynamic). Also I try to put this.getStyle().backgroundImage = row["imageURL"]; on the onCreate property of grid's(grid1) cell but it did not work.
 
Thanks for your time.

Andres,
 
It is possible to use a style, and then programmatically set the background image URL based on a data set.
 
Attached is a sample that has two data sets.
 
The Image Data Set will return a URL of the image.
The Customers Data Set will return a list of the customers and their country.
 
In the outer grid, we set a style on cell 1, row 1. The style does not have a background image yet.
 
Now, in the inner grid, we display a table that will use Customer Data Set.
 
In the beforeFactory event, we execute the query for Image Data Set and save the result value. Then we set the style's background image to the URL we just read from the database.
 
The attached design was created with OS BIRT 4.4.2. If using commercial BIRT, there are two lines to uncomment, and one to comment in the beforeFactory.
