parsing the image + title from an URL

More specifically use the method flickr.photos.getInfo.

Try it out here: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/?
method=flickr.photos.getInfo
Type in the photo-id, no secret and no signing. This will give you whats needed for your
need.

So what you have to do is to apply for a API-key, find a AS3 Flickr API implementation, use
that method to fetch info.. In short..

Many thanks for the help so far, much appreciated.

Just to see if i got my thought process straight:

1) user inputs the url of the page into the search box
2) application parses out the id at the end and then calls a method
within flash/flex using getInfo
3) XML is returned from which i parse the info i need to display the
image and the title

That about sums it up, right?
