Ben, the problem lies in the browser, in that when it recieves an error response code (200?), it does not pass the full exception to the Flash Player.
Some workarounds include forcing the server to return a different code. There will be more detail in the archives. My strategy is to handle all errors on the server, and pass them back to Flex as an xml string. So only hard, network communication errors ever get to the Flex client.

Using "fault" allows me to handle the error gracefully - say when the result is not proper XML. But I would like to view the full error message from the server, for example, if there's a SQL statement error etc...... I realize I can switch the resultFormat to "text" but this is a real pain to switch back and forth during testing.
