FileExists("path to image here") function works great.

Clint
I want to take this to AIR, but I'll be checking a remote server for
the image so the fileExists works great, but I really need to think it
through.

It's an "employee" look up so I'll need to store data locally in case
I'm off line (for AIR).
I have some reading to do.

thanks.
John

 I agree with clint this is better off at the serverside where you could ad
a hasImage property to your data.

 The only other thing I could suggest is trying to use the httpStatus event
of the image to detect a 404 status code
 and change the image source to your silhouette image accordingly. This is
kind of dirty in my opinion though because you are hitting up the server for
items you don't know exist only to hit it up again.

He will need to do this on the CF side as there isnt anything in AS3
 that can detect file size unless he developing an AIR app.

 I have first and last names of people
  When I select a person I check a directory to see in there is a jpeg
  in there that natches the name
  example
  name: "John Doe"
  I look for "John Doe.jpg"

  and I have this working. but I don't have photo's for all the people.
  If there is not a match I'll show a silhouette photo.
  I know it's a simple if then statement but I don't know check to see
  if I really have an image. Like file size?

  Thanks.
