Question
How do I check for an active internet connection in Flash using Actionscript 3?
Solution
If you are using AIR, you can use the ServiceMonitor
class.
Otherwise you might want to consider rolling your own with a URLLoader
coupled with a timer with an exponential backoff.
OTHER TIPS
to expand on martineno's answer about rolling your own using the URLLoader, read about the HTTPStatusEvent in the documentation.
at the end of the document Adobe includes an example for checking for the existence of a file on a server, but the same could be applied to simply check for an internet connection.
