    Stuck loading stuff in

    I have a little problem im stuck on. I'm working on a system that loads images depending on the date of the file. The files are either jpg or swf, so for example:-

    08_06_2006.jpg
    08_06_2006.swf

    There can only be one file(jpg or swf) per date.

    So far I can look to see what the date is and load the jpg. My problem is, what if there isnt a jpg and only the swf.

    My code so far is:-

    months = new Array('01', '02', '03', '04', '05', '06', '07', '08', '09', '10', '11', '12');
    timedate = new Date();
    todaydate = timedate.getDate();
    day = timedate.getDay();
    month = (timedate.getMonth()+1);
    month = months[month-1];
    year = timedate.getFullYear();
    currentdate = +todaydate+"_"+month+"_"+year;
    myVar = "images/large/"+currentdate+".jpg";
    holder.loadMovie(myVar);
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    gL = holder.getBytesLoaded();
    gT = holder.getBytesTotal();
    percent.text = Math.round(gL/gT*100);
    if (gL == gT && holder._width>1 && holder._height>1) {
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    gotoAndStop(3);
    }
    };
    stop();


    If the jpg file doesnt exist I get this message in the output window:-

    Error opening URL "file:///F|/site/images/large/8_06_2006.jpg"

    How do I get flash to say "oh the jpg file isnt there, load the swf instead"?

    Thanks
