how to account for landscape and portrait pictures

[ksbigfoot]

I have created a slideshow by loading the images in through an XML file. Right now I am forcing the pictures to be W:315 X H:236, the layout starts at x:0, y:0 position.

How would I recognize if the picture was in a portrait layout, Eg.) W:236 X H:315

Thanks

Forgot to mention I am using Flash 8.0

this.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", 10);
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
trace(target_mc._width);
trace(target_mc._height);
//take action if width > height
}
mcl.loadClip("image1.jpg", img_mc);

Howdy billwatson,
Thanks for the post.
I don't know if anyone is going to submit a portrait picture.
But if they do, do I have to create my .swf to be of size 315 X 315, to handle the portrait picture? Or can I somehow change the size of my swf on the fly incase I run into a portrait picture?
Thanks
