No matter what kind of useful, interesting technology comes into existence, there’s always some piece of thieving criminal slime willing to steal it.
Internet Porn Exists And .xxx Is Just Simpler
Though people have been leery for years about regulating the Internet, that reticent stance is exactly what has caused a Wild West of online porn sites that don’t care who sees what they’re peddling. Recently, in their ever-efficient way, the two ruling parties of the United States government have been in a tizzy over the topic, and it is becoming clear that Internet regulation is soon to be a reality-even if either party hasn’t fully agreed on how to handle it. One’s blind and the other is trying to kill a fly with a bazooka.
Checking if a File Exists
Sometimes it is necessary to determine if a file exists using actionscript, for example when you have a preloader cue, that loads a series of .jpgs one after another, if one of the files doesnt exist then the cue wouldnt traverse any further, you could of course use a timeout in that scenario but why not just check if the file exists before loading it, so that if necessary you can move onto the next item in the cue almost instantly.
