I’am loading a movie with the following:

on (release) {  
\_root.product.loadMovie(“Pad\_Lead.swf”);  
}

Is there a way load only if there is an internet commection? I would like to show a movie that is on my site if there is a connection. If no connection I would like to inform the user that he will need to connect for best results.

Bob

I guess you could use the LoadVars object…  
[AS]myLoadVars = new LoadVars();  
myLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// there’s an internet connection  
} else {  
// there’s no internet connection  
}  
};  
myLoadVars.load(“[http://www.domain.com/Pad\_Lead.swf](http://www.domain.com/Pad_Lead.swf)”);[/AS]
