Camera roll with cropping functionality in as3 starling

Question

I implemented camera roll on my game with flash Media Event. Now, i want to have cropping functionality. Once i take photo from my gallery, how to crop before upload it to my game like cropping on black berry messenger dp on android phone? I'm using starling, AIR, flash and as3 codes.

Question isn't related to starling. With google you can find a lot of cropping technics, for example this http://shaun.boyblack.co.za/blog/2008/08/29/image-resizing-and-cropping-utility/ and this http://blog.soulwire.co.uk/code/actionscript-3/fit-a-displayobject-into-a-rectangle There is not so much difference between starling display objects and traditional flash. So you code may be looking like this:

protected var myCam:CameraUI;
...

myCam = new CameraUI();
myCam.addEventListener(MediaEvent.COMPLETE, onComplete);
myCam.launch(MediaType.IMAGE);

...

protected function onComplete(e:MediaEvent):void
{
    //getting the url to image file
    var file:File = e.data.file;
    trace(file.nativePath); //or
    trace(file.url);
    //then you can download image and crop it with any technic as simple bitmap
    //then use it for Texture and show it in starling
    //then upload it to server

}
