Hello,

I use the following code to load an external logo into a Flash Movie.

> 

var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(logoPath);  
var loader:Loader = new Loader();  
loader.load(myRequest);  
holder\_mc.addChild(loader);

What if the logo file is not find? I wish that if the logo is not found, another default logo will be used, i.e.

if (logoPath is here) {  
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(logoPath);  
} else (logoPath is not here) {  
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(“defaultlogo.png”);  
}

How can I do that?

Thanks and best regards

Alex
