External file is loaded or not

1

Hello,

I have one text file which i am loading externally from my local machine. I am trying to read some variables from this file.

my problem: if the text file somehow fails to load in flash then it should load variables from HTML file from which my swf is running. But i am not able to check if this text file is loaded or not.

my code: (working if text file is present)


///Local Variables Loading//////

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loading);
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("C:/content.txt"));

///////////HTML Variables Loading///////

var myFlashVar:String;
var htmlVAR:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;

for (htmlVAR in paramObj)
{
    myFlashVar = String(paramObj[htmlVAR]);
    trace(myFlashVar);
}

///////////Check which variable is Loading/////////
function loading(event:Event):void
{
    if (myLoader.data.var_1 == 1234)
    {
        trace ("Text file var loaded");
    }
    else if (myFlashVar=="1234")
    {
        trace("HTML var loaded");
    }
    else
    {
       trace("both not found");
    }
}

may be i am doing some idiot thing. plz help.
