YOUR CONNECTION CHECKER
One of the great features of a Flash Projector file is that it loads movies and variables not only from your hard drive, but also from the web. When you need to talk to a web server to retrieve or update data, Flash has the ability to use the GET and POST command to update data on websites. But if users are not connected online then the data will not be sent or retrieved. Uh-oh.

This is why we created JNetCheck. With this JTool, you can check to see if the user is online or not, all from one simple command. This is extremely useful as you can then choose not to run a certain command if the user is not online, and message them to connect to the Internet. Once run, JNetCheck displays the connection status (True or False) in a text file which you can load into Flash as variables. What you do after that is totally up to you. You could...

• Display the connection status in a field
• Submit details if the user is online
• In a game, publish high scores to the web (with the use of CGI or ASP scripting)
• Work with proxy servers
