Hi,
Is there any way to obtain the latitude and longitude from a photo
using AS3 Flickr Library? I noticed in the Flickr API there is a
method called "flickr.photos.geo.getLocation" that performs this
action. Have you ever tried to implement it? if not, how can I solve
this problem?

You need to go dig into the exif data for the jpeg file and pull that
info out. There is an AS library for reading exif, but its not an
official library...you will have to google for it, but it works, I've
used it.

One challenge is that every camera produces slightly different exif
data...so you have to code around that.
