i happened to pulled from my android phone a picture taken in San Francisco the coordinates are as follows 37,47,13 N N and 122,24,29 W
when i used the function shorten, i had to modify part of the condition from reference == "E" to reference == "W" as it was before taking me to the sea near China having 37.786944444444444, 122.40805555555556 but then when fixed it took me to the right location 37.786944444444444, -122.40805555555556
Note from the Author or Editor:
Hello Juan,
Thank you for taking the time to submit the error.
The code for this example got all mixed up for some reason.
I will post the code sample to clarify any confusion under the "download example code" section.
As you noted,
var exif:ExifInfo = reader.exif;
Should be
var exif:ExifInfo = exifLoader.exif;
var parts:Array;
is not part of this code example and should be deleted.
degree * -1
should be degree *= -1;
"E" should be "W
Sorry for the confusion.

For the sentence, "For an object whose registration is in the middle, the x and y position do not need an offset (see Figure 5-2)".
The current code is incorrect:
box.x = stage.stageWidth;
box.y = stage.stageHeight;
It should be:
box.x = stage.stageWidth*0.5;
box.y = stage.stageHeight*0.5;
or
box.x = stage.fullScreenWidth*0.5;
box.y = stage.fullScreenHeight*0.5;
(if the application is set to full screen)

Page 51, the sentence "The following creates a sprite of 10x10 inches, or 100x100 pixels" is incorrect.
The point of converting millimeters (or inches) to pixels using Capabilities.screenDPI is to vary the pixel value depending on the device.
For instance, using the following:
toPixels(10);
function toPixels(mm:Number):int {
return Math.round(Capabilities.screenDPI*(mm/25.4));
}
returns the following values on various devices:
66 pixels // Samsung Galaxy Tab - 168 dpi
99 pixels // Macbook Pro - 252 dpi
100 pixels // Nexus One - 254 dpi
