Thanks Alex, but when I copy this well-formed URL in a browser I get "The page cannot be displayed" message right away... trying the same URL with my mx:Image.load() call will hang forever...I even waited for hours, nothing.
The only case my IOError event handler got called was when the used URL was malformed (e.g. if using this string "NOT_AN_URL" as URL I can catch the IOError) Robert --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You might have to wait for the server to timeout.
