[FMX] Does it exist?

programming flash
1

Ok, I have a weird question… You all know the “loadMovie” command but is there a way to tell if the movie you want to load really exists?

for example:
I have a movie on my server names “asdf.swf” and I want to use loadMovie to open it. Well what If I want it to check if it exists before I try to load it?

Also, can you load picture files to a movie? (gif/png)

Anyway, thanks ahead of time.

also, like Pom says in that thread, you may have to use PHP to verify if it exists and then load it into flash. if not then display an error message.
