Removing Bandwidth Detector Makes swf stop working

programming flash
1

Hi,

I have a project where I’m removing code for bandwidth detection, but after I remove it, my code in the }else{ won’t execute anymore like it did before. Not sure what I’m missing? Maybe a pair of curly braces somewhere? Here is before, and after bandwidth code removal:

---------- BEFORE (works): ----------

stop();

images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;
images_xml.load(‘xml/flash.xml’);
images_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

// intialize variables
function startImageViewer(success) {
if (success == true) {
rootNode = images_xml.firstChild;
// ‘totalImages’ is the variable name set to correspond with the the dynamic text instance of ‘totalImages’
totalImages = rootNode.childNodes.length;
// [ totalImages = rootNode.childNodes.length; ] gets the total number of childNodes (total number of image and text files) in your .xml document
firstImageNode = rootNode.firstChild;
lastImageNode = rootNode.lastChild;
currentImageNode = firstImageNode;
// ‘currentIndex’ is the variable name set to correspond with the dynamic text instance of ‘currentIndex’
currentIndex = 1;
// [ currentIndex = 1; ] sets the viewer to play the first childNode (first image and text file) in your .xml document
updateImage(firstImageNode);
}
}

// Updates the current image with new image and text
function updateImage(newImageNode) {
// ‘imagePath’ is the variable name set to correspond with the .jpeg file name located in your .xml document
headline1 = rootNode.childNodes[0].attributes.headline1;
headline2 = rootNode.childNodes[0].attributes.headline2;

headline3 = rootNode.childNodes[1].attributes.headline1;
headline4 = rootNode.childNodes[1].attributes.headline2;

image3 = rootNode.childNodes[2].attributes.image3;
image4 = rootNode.childNodes[3].attributes.image4;
image5 = rootNode.childNodes[4].attributes.image5;

}

// *************************
// Bandwidth Detector
/*
Downloads a hidden test image from a predefined URL
and determines client bandwidth based on how
quickly the image is downloaded. Test image must
be ~12k in filesize (smaller filesizes result in inaccurate
detections on fast connections). Image is not cached due
to random string added to URL.

“Test” variable in calc_bandwidth(); is bandwidth value.
(~300kbps cable/DSL, ~20kbps dialup)

The text field on the stage can be safely removed.
