I backtracked on this thread...
I guess the questions are:
1) what are you trying to load?
2) what onLoad(success:Boolean) are you using?
Are you using the XML or LoadVars?
Assuming you are using the LoadVars, a more reasonable "timeout"
approach would be something like:
//-------------------- code --------------------------
function fileExists() {}
function fileDoesNotExist() {}
var timeout:Number = 10000; // 10 seconds...
var app:MovieClip = this;
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
clearInterval(app.interval);
if (!success) {
app.fileDoesNotExist();
} else {
app.fileExists();
}
};
var startTime:Number = getTimer() + timeout;
lv.load(url);
var interval:Number = setInterval(function () {
var total:Number = app.lv.getBytesTotal();
if (total > 4) {
clearInterval(app.interval);
app.fileExists();
} else {
if (getTimer() >= app.startTime) {
clearInterval(app.interval);
app.fileDoesNotExist();
}
}
}, 25);
//-------------------- code --------------------------

And yet timeout times are set somehow... I think it's a subjective
decision.
I wouldn't do it like this, but if someone has to?
