Flash 8 Documentation 
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference > ActionScript language elements > Global Functions > ifFrameLoaded function

ifFrameLoaded function

ifFrameLoaded([scene:String], frame) { 
statement(s); 
}

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This function has been deprecated. Macromedia recommends that you use the MovieClip._framesloaded property.

Checks whether the contents of a specific frame are available locally. Use ifFrameLoaded to start playing a simple animation while the rest of the SWF file downloads to the local computer. The difference between using _framesloaded and ifFrameLoaded is that _framesloaded lets you add custom if or else statements.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 4

Parameters

scene:String [optional] - A string that specifies the name of the scene that must be loaded.

frame:Object - The frame number or frame label that must be loaded before the next statement is executed.

With ifFramesLoad() deprecated and _currentFrame returning a number only, how in Actionscript 2.0 to check for the playhead reaching a labelled frame in a movieclip timeline?

Checking for a frame number counters the long-advocated portability concept behind frame labelling. This ability to check for the frame label name in a non-deprecated way would be really helpful given that scenes are also deprecated.
