Re: [flexcoders] How to check if a file exist in the server?

Try loading it, and if you get an IOError, the file does not exist. 
There could be other reasons you may get an IOError, but it's useful for 
specifically that purpose.

 Currently am doing it with HTTPService, but I need to know if there is 
 any better mechanism since I want to check files with big sizes and I 
 think HTTPService will load the actual file into memory (not sure if 
 that’s correct, let me know if not).

Depending on the technology that you use, you need some server-side scripting 
to interrogate the servers file system and pass back a status to say if a file 
exists or not.
