Bandwidth Checker

[diabolo]

I have a .swf on another hosting, and I embed into one of my pages here at x10. When I run out of bandwidth, I don't want the file to just not display..rather than exchange the code for a 'this file can not be displayed' type thing.

I have an idea with php, but not sure it will work:

require_once "check";
if 'check' is present {<embed>
} else {
this file can not be displayed

Embedding a Flash Object from another Hosting account doesn't add-up in your bandwidth meter in X10, here.

Do you mean, exceeding bandwidth in THAT another hosting account?

 

[diabolo]

when I exceed the bandwidth is that other account, instead of just displaying nothing since the file can not be retrieved, it shows the string of text

Maybe have it check if it can successfully retrieve the file?

 

[diabolo]

that is what I am thinking...having it check it it can receive the whole file, if it could then put the embed code is, or else switch it out for something else...
I just dun kno how to do that

Is there a notice you get from the other site? Like a 503 site not available message when you are out of bandwidth?

it is a .swf that is showing..and I want it to have like some special text
and I can switch it out with another code
