Net error codes in Director

Error codes produced through network operations in Director versions 6 through MX
The following is a list of the most common network related errors reported to Lingo in both Shockwave and Director. These error codes will be returned when accessing information via the netError() or netError(netID) functions.

The netError is a function that determines whether an error has occurred in a network operation and, if so, returns an error number corresponding to an error message. If the operation was successful, this function returns a code indicating that everything is okay ("OK"). If no background loading operation has started, or if the operation is in progress, this function returns an empty string. For more information see netError in the Lingo Dictionary
