Ian: "There's no Flash native hack as far as I know."
You can check (and cache while you're at it) any file by using LoadVars:
var file:String = "anyFileType.exe";
var fileExists:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
fileExists.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, doCheck);
fileExists.load(file);
function doCheck(success:Boolean) {
if (success) trace("File "+file+" exists.");
else trace("File "+file+" does not exist.");
}
