FLASH: Detecting internet connection

[James]

I'm thinking of setting up a projector for local use, but maybe grabbing 

information from the web (once and a while).  Is there an easy way within 

flash to detect if the user has an internet connection and if so, proceed 

with a function.  Right now, if flash cannot find the URL, it pops up the 

error window.  Somehow I'd like to surpress that error message and just 

move on.


Something like trying to call a certain page on the web, and if you receive 

confirmation, then proceed, otherwise show a simple "You must be connected 

message" (or do nothing) within the movie and proceed as normal.  Or, if 

there is a built-in function I don't know about --- maybe an "if 

netconnection = yes"... :)


I can handle the above scenario within flash, but that popup window still 

comes up which gets annoying.  Any ideas are appreciated.
