:(index or "addonName")<br />

:;addonName: String - The name of the addon you want to load or reload.<br />
<br />

<br />
:;loaded: Flag - Indicates if the AddOn was loaded, 1 if it is, nil if it is not.<br />

local loaded = UIParentLoadAddOn( "MyFunkyAddon" );<br />
<br />
=== Result ===<br />
loaded = 1 or nil<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
<br />
*If the addon fails to load, it is added to a list of failed addons. If you try to load the addon again without reloading the UI, you will not be notified of failure unless you use [[API_LoadAddOn|LoadAddOn]] and write your own edge case.<br />
*As of patch 1.8, you can only use this for addons that are marked on demand in their .toc files (## LoadOnDemand: 1).<br />
<br />
Functionally similar to this:<br />
local loaded, reason = LoadAddOn(name);<br />
if ( not loaded ) then<br />
message(format(ADDON_LOAD_FAILED, name, getglobal("ADDON_"..reason)));<br />
