You can use an offscreen image object that is invisible and whose lockLoc
property is false. Import the image and then get its width and height... OR
you can use an image object whose lockLoc property is TRUE, and then get the
'formattedWidth' and 'formattedHeight' of the image (which will return its
original width and height).
