Access Image Metadata in a jpeg?

[andyrossdesign]

An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it. The "IPTC Core"
metadata usually includes the photographers name, address, title, description,
etc.

Is there any way to access this information using Flash so that, say, captions
for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?

Look at the documentation for the BitmapData class. I think this provides you
with access to the raw image data.
Look at the documentation of the jpeg i.e. the JPEG header format. I think you
might be able to parse out some image label data from raw JPEG header. This
would be one way. The second way is to pass the name/caption of the image in
the HTTP server response and parse it using the URLLoader object. Read
documentation of URLLoader.
