Yeah, flickr recently introduced a separate secret for the original 
sized images (as a security measure to make it harder for people without 
permissions to get them). I will integrate support for this into Flashr 
ASAP. In the meantime, you may be better to call photosGetSizes on any 
photo the user clicked on. You can then call 
Photo.getLargestAvailableSize [ 
http://flashr.kelvinluck.com/assets/0.5/docs/files/com/kelvinluck/flashr/core/Photo-as.html#com.kelvinluck.flashr.core.Photo.getLargestAvailableSize 
] on the photo passing in a number dependant on the user's screen size. 
This will ensure that you can always display the most suitable photo.

Cool - I'll look forward to it :)


Cheers,
