loadClip sometimes does not load image - how to check if image loaded

Hello,
I have a problem with loadClip in AS2. I use the loadClip method with its listeners (onLoadInit and so on) and it works fine most of the time. Only sometimes (randomly), an image is not loaded. Of course the image is on the server. Would like to know if someone knows this issue? And if there is any solution for checking if the image is loaded, if not try again to load…
Of course I could check on load init if the image width his bigger than 0, but I’m wondering if there are other solutions.
Thanx a lot
