Thread to test for computer internet connection

[jezx]

I have been asked to add some code to a flash.exe file that when opened, off a CD, it will check for a web connection and pass back the information to the provider that the file has been accessed. Thats all.
I have suggested that most firewalls will block this connection but if someone knows how to do this I would be interested.
I would also concider this a bit sneaky if it is not telling the user that it is going to send information but hey, I guess the client would not be the first.

i dont know if this is possible but i have an idea that might work:

put a remote file on a webserver called testconnection.txt and in that have text: &connectedServer=yes

then in flash use the loadVars();

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
	_root.isConnected.text = lv.connectedServer;
};
lv2.sendAndLoad("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.webserver.com/testconnection.txt",[/URL] lv, "GET");

Martin
