How do I get the width and height of an image?

Question

I'm constructing a book of sorts in Actionscript 3 (FlexBuilder) and am trying to size an image dynamically according to the dimensions of it's source file. But, I've found that if I don't explicitly state the width and height of an image, they trace as 0.

So that I can scale down an image to fit within a given space, how do I get the width and height of a source image?

A flash.display.Loader has width and height attributes.
