if(fd==0) jumps = new Array();

Further, I’ve discovered this Class has problems reading the newer EXIF version 0221 format. I was specifically looking to retrieve the Dimensions of the image. With 0221 images, the values being retrieved were impossibly large. A work-around, though….

I was able to calculate the image dimensions of 0221 images using the following code snippet:

var exif:ExifReader = new ExifReader();

exif.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, function ( e:Event ):void
{
var dim:String = “Unknown”
if( exif.hasKey( “ExifImageWidth” ) )
{
var x:uint = uint( exif.getValue( “ExifImageWidth” ) );
var y:uint = uint( exif.getValue( “ExifImageHeight” ) );
if( x > 1000000 ) // Newer Exif version returns impossibly huge x/y values – which are still useful….
{
var ru:uint = uint( exif.getValue( “ResolutionUnit” ) );
x = x/ru*2;
y = y/ru*2;
dim = x.toString() + ” x ” + y.toString();
}
else
dim = x.toString() + ” x ” + y.toString();
}
else if( exif.hasKey( “XResolution” ) )
dim = exif.getValue( “XResolution” ).toString() + ” x ” + exif.getValue( “YResolution” ).toString();
}, false, 0, true );

exif.load(new URLRequest( filename ), true);

It’s a “hack”, not a fix, but… suited my immediate needs. In case someone finds it useful….

if(ifd==0) jumps = new Array();

After that, worked a charm. Thanks!

But now I have some other questions.. I have a jpeg that Windows properties, and Photoshop Info.. says is 300dpi… but when I use the XResolution I get 72… Is it picking up the Thumbnail resolution? This is the primary info that I wanted to get (the dpi)….

Thanks Again

Just started FLEX and Exif data is one of the things that I wanted for my learning project..

I know that this is newbie question, but how do I import this into a new project. I tried a couple of things but I am still getting errors. I know that is vague, but if you could show me a project that uses your sample usage that would help me on my way ;O)

Thanks

Bob
