Hi Karl,
I think Adobe has their own project of getting meta data out of file,
especially for their 'own' file formats, i'm guessing PSD aswell
I have not looked in to this but maybe it can help you; its called XMP.

Hope this helps you,
Sid

Hi,
The open-file dialog is an OS thing - the thumbs come from the OS
rather than the image. PSD's are an exception - the thumbnail
appears in the "Adobe" style dialogue for these...
I am guessing AS3 + AIR may allow a bit more "flexibility" with
opening and accessing file data in the way you would like, but as
you are using AS2, you are probably restricted to uploading a file,
making a thumbnail then displaying it... Be aware that if you are
thinking of doing something like this, image uploading, even with
phpThumb, is often exploited by hackers - read the doc's / fix list
if you are thinking of using ready made scripts and weigh up pros/
cons.

Thanks Glen,
I will look that up.
I kind of figured I would need some kind of script help in the
process, but was just wondering if Flash had the capabilities.
Like when your in the "open file" dialog window. The thumbnail you
see. Retrieving that somehow in flash.
No SystemCapabilities function for something like that?
Best,

Hi,
Don't think you could do this in Flash without loading the whole
image file, even if it did have a thumbnail - not sure if this is
a feature of the JPEG / PNG spec or not?
If you are loading images from the server, you could run a
script that generates thumbnails "on the fly", (hopefully caching
them for further browser requests). There are loads of free
scripts - phpThumb is one I have seen that may do the caching too.

(Photoshop file).
They sometimes come with an embedded thumbnail.
I wanted to know if you can access this and use it to display.
I am working in AS2. Would it take a code to do that, or no way
to do that in flash?
Any thoughts would help.
Thanks,
