Yup, looks like the binding was swallowing up the error so there didn't appear to be any problem. I ended up just scrapping all the code in the setter and dispatched an event instead. When that code was executed in the listener, I was getting a runtime error. All fixed now. Thanks for the insight on binding. I will know to be more careful with my setters now.
