Referencing the original size of a .jpg...

[DrGonzo]

Hello all,
I'm using the fileReference class to allow users to load images from their computer into a movie clip. I am also using a custom freeTransform class to allow the user to scale/rotate/move the image/movie clip. The freeTransform class has a sizeRestrict function, which allows you to set xMin, xMax, yMin & yMax values, but this works on a scale of the original image - i.e: xMin:50, xMax:50, yMin:50, yMax:50, restricts the movie clip to 50% of the original jpg size....

What I want to do, is restrict the size of the move clip to specific width & height dimensions - regardless of the jpg's original size...


Does anyone know if there is a way of reading the original dimensions of a jpg? If I could reference these values I can do a sum (desied size/actual size x100) to get the right xMin, xMax, yMin & yMax values for each jpg....

Any help would be greatly appreciated...


Thanks,

DrGonzo.
