I have tried using a Try/Catch as well as a listener - see code below: try { var sourceFile:File = new File(); sourceFile.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onSourceFileIoError); sourceFile = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath( model.networkDriveLetter + "\\" + event.payload.asset_location ); } catch(e:Error){trace('an error has occurred')}; However, neither of these seems to trap the error. Suggestions? Thanks, in advance. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
