netPresent

Usage

-- Lingo syntax
_player.netPresent

// JavaScript syntax
_player.netPresent;

Description

Player property; determines whether the Xtra extensions needed to access the Internet are available but does not report whether an Internet connection is currently active. Read-only.

If the Net Support Xtra extensions are not available, netPresent will function properly, but netPresent() will cause a script error.

Example

This statement sends an alert if the Xtra extensions are not available:

-- Lingo syntax
if (not(_player.netPresent)) then
   _player.alert("Sorry, the Network Support Xtras could not be found.")
end if

// JavaScript syntax
if (!(_player.netPresent)) {
   _player.alert("Sorry, the Network Support Xtras could not be found.");
}
