[OpenLayers-Dev] can't show externalGraphics for vectors

[Val Cartei]

Hi there,
I am trying to attach an image to a Point. The idea would be to extend
the class so that the style with the attribute externalGraphic gets
applied, but it doesn't seem to work.
The problem is that it still shows the default style, although if i do
an alert (style.externalGraphic), the property exists, it just doesn'y
display.

Here's my code:
style_mark.externalGraphic = "http://boston.openguides.org/markers/AQUA.png";
	
	var SinglePoint=OpenLayers.Class.create();
	SinglePoint.prototype=OpenLayers.Class.inherit(OpenLayers.Handler.Point,{
	 createFeature:function(evt){
	   OpenLayers.Handler.Point.prototype.createFeature.apply(this);
	   this.point.style = OpenLayers.Util.extend({},style_mark);//style_mark;
   	 }
	});

I hope someone can help me with this.
