loadMovie - Help???

[jbagley]

this.createEmptyMovieClip("prize_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
prize_mc.loadMovie("JPGFILES/plasma.jpg");

The question I have is, when plasma.jpg doesnt exist, I get an error saying image specified doesnt exist.

All I want to happen is, if plasma.jpg doesnt exist, it musn't load the movie. Is there a method that can check if the image exists, or if I used an "if" statement, what would I check for?

try this, right under the loadMovie function:

prize_mc.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (!success) {
		prize_mc.stop();
	}
}
