Why not use the free FileXtra3 that ships with Director?

   oFileObj = new ( xtra "FileXtra3" )
   bFile = fx_FileExists( someFileOrOther )
   if bFile then
     -- hooray!
   else
     -- it's missing
   end if

FileIO is an option, to be sure, but FileXtra *is* there, and it *has 
been* designed to do this kind of stuff. ;)
