Unfortunately, the flash CameraRoll (which is truly great) doesn't provide what you need in this scenario.
I think you have three options: 1. Respond to the "select" event and if the file is unsupported, pop a message and allow them to select another file. Make sure your app UI preps the user about what image types are supported. However, this is a sticky wicket when only supporting one image type when all other apps in the world support at least png and jpg, and often bmp, etc. 2. Change your app to support png format which is a really good idea anyway, and use #1 if they select a video. 3. Use an ANE that supports a filter. I do not see any option in flash CameraRoll to establish a file type filter. But consider that mobile apps are about easy stuff. So supporting both png and jpeg at a minimum will increase the value of your app by a lot. If you need any help using the 2d library to manipulate jpg and png, I can help. I've written a lot of raw bitmap manipulation logic through the years, both jpg and png. In fact, if you really need to only support jpg, you can convert your png to a jpg, though it takes a little time on a mobile device, measured in seconds if it's large.

But my app is not capable of handling a video or a PNG, only JPG files. Is there a way when you browse the cameraroll, that you can specify it to only show the JPG images that the user has, and not all the various image types that they may have??
