Unfortunately, there is no in built way on the client-side of catching if an
image,Flash, or any other file is not available. You can use PHP etc to
check in advance:
function image_exists($url)
{
$info = @getimagesize(urlencode($url));
return((bool) $info);
}
In regards to Flash video, well that is loaded by the swf, not the browser,
not your error checking would need to be inside Flash (it does have the
ability to catch errors on load etc)
It is up to the developer to ensure all the assets referenced on the page
are valid. If you do not control the assets on your page (ie you are loading
them off some remote domain), then you are out of luck if only relying on
the client afaik.
