Hi everybody!

I have a movieclip where I want it to check for a file. If it finds the file (file1.xml) i want it to gotoAndStop at frame 2 in the movie clip.

My code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
getURL (“vinst1.xml”);  
if(success)  
{  
gotoAndStop(2)  
}

}

Anyone know of a command to replace “getURL” with that will check for the file and not load it?
