.complete ?

The source of a script had a some lines like this:

playster=new Image()
playster.src="play2.gif"
if(playster.complete == false)
{setTimeout("checkload()",100)}

What is .complete? I searched and found no prototypes assigned or external scripts. So that must mean that .complete has some kind of official meaning in javascript?

Cool, so detecting if an image has been preloaded is as simple as an IF statement?

I haven't checked preloading with it but it is true when the image is loaded

Thanks, I'll see what it can do.
