Count pixels of a specific colour

[maguskrool]

Hello.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to load an image into flash and count the pixels of a specific colour in that image?

I'm trying to develop an application that loads images with a white background, then counts all the white pixels and returns the number of non-white pixels.

I don't need a step-by-step explanation of how to achieve this (although I'd be immensely grateful if anyone would go to that trouble), for a now a simple yes or no, and perhaps a few clues would be plenty of help.

Thanks in advance.

Yes - BitmapData.getPixel(x:int, y:int):uint
