Hi,

Thank you both for your help. You were right:

- the original image has an "originalsecret" property which is different from the "secret" property

- you can get the original secret either by calling photos.getInfo or (in my case) photosets.getPhotos with an extra parameter of "url_o"

- as3flickrlib is a library for actionscript. I'm not sure if these are bugs but they handle farms incorectly and I cannot send the "extras" request in photosets.getPhotos (this is actually the source of all of my problems...)

Regarding the original/large photos, it seems I really don't have a "large" version:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristianvitalariu/3947180459/sizes/o/

Why is that?

Thank you again,

Hi,
I've been working on a Flex (Flex3, Cairngorm and as3flickrlib) project that acts as an image gallery using your flickr sets and photos.
I am able to retrieve sets and photos in sets, organize them the way that I want and display them.
The url structure I'm using right now is:
url = "http://static.flickr.com/" + tempPhoto.server + "/" + tempPhoto.id + "_" + tempPhoto.secret + ".jpg";
(tempPhoto is a as3flickrlib Photo object)

The problem is that I cannot seem to be able to retrieve the original image url.
I've tried adding "_o.jpg" at the end of the url (that gives me an "image not available" white image)
My images are public and the original images are actually there (i can see them inside a browser).

Do I need to authenticate and get a token before I can access those urls?
If so, I was able to get the frob, login and get the token, but I'm not really sure what to do with it next.
How is the photosets.getPhotos() response going to change?

I HAVE searched the lists and google and couldn't come up with an answer.

Thanks,
