[FMX] LoadMovie - Can I detect if successful?

programming flash
1

I’m using loadmovie and I’d like to be able to detect if it succeeded or failed. If it fails, I’d like to load a different movie.

I haven’t found anything in the AS dictionary so any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lex

It can be done (Thanks goes tov FlashGuru for pointing that out) using the following script: :slight_smile:

fileExists = new LoadVars();
fileExists._parent = this;
fileExists.onLoad = function(success) {
    //success is true if the file exists, false if it doesnt
    if (success) {
        //the file exists
        var nm = this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("swfHolder", 1);
        //so create a movieclip
        nm.loadMovie("myfile.swf");
        //and load our .swf file into it
    } else {
        trace("error");
    }
};
fileExists.load("myfile.swf");
//initiate the test

I think that the code is clear enough to be understood, hope it helps.

cheers;
