Bart,
Firstly, I'm not sure why that's a reply to my posting - and
secondly, why would you want to do that..?
The original poster asked if there was a way of checking whether a
file exists sooner than waiting for the whole file to load. Your
solution loads the whole file via LoadVars - which would take the same
amount of time as loading it normally. My solution is a quick call to
a webserver and a few bytes worth of response - much quicker than
(say) loading a 250Kb file...
