In iOS dev it is common practice to use the Reachability class to check that you can hit a web service or other network path. I need to do something similar to check that an asset path that is being passed into a Flash SWF exists.
I don’t want to run a test to load a transparent image cause this will take time to return a fault or result.
Any ideas?
Have a look at ServiceMonitor.
