Even in that case you would need the server check if the images are
going to live on the server only. With AIR, you could check a local
directory or on the server. Its pretty easy :)

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

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
