Read a web image and filter out certain dimensions

1

Here is the pseudo-code to give you an idea what I want:

for (i == 0; i <= 100; i++) {
tempImg = get url (“http://mysite.com/” + i + “.jpg”);

while (tempImg != fully loaded) {
??? //sit around and wait?
}

if (tempImg.width != 400 && tempImg.height != 320) {
trace(“i” + “.jpg meet the requirements.”);
}
}

Basically, I want it to go through my site from 001.jpg to 100.jpg, and return all the pictures that are not 400 x 320, but I don’t know exactly how to code it.

The application doesn’t need to display the images on-screen or anything fancy. Simple tracing will do for now.

Also, if it is easier, it can be done by file size.

Thanks,

I’ve worked on it some more, and I’ve gotten down to the fact that I need help specifically on determining the (original) size of an image using te MediaDisplay component.

I used the MediaDisplay component (named “display”) to load the pictures, via:

loadMovie(“http://mysite.com/” + i + “.jpg”, “display”);

I can’t find a way for it to give me the real size of the picture I’ve loaded.

When I try:

trace(display._width +" x " + display._height);

I get the output: 300 x 200 – for an image that is supposed to be 600x800.

And when I use: display._xscale = 60; display._yscale = 60; to make the pictures fit in the frame, the output changes to 180 x 120.

So, obviously, it’s not taking the original content size.

Maybe you guys have a fix to this? Or a better way to load external images into flash?
