Jon,

That's not what I meant. What I meant was there should be a 
method/property available that provides this information. I don't 
believe a try-catch is the best way to determine if you can do 
something or not.

I'm not saying that security is a bad thing. What I'm saying is it 
feels like you've been blind folded, because the Flash Player/Flex 
does not give you an idea of what your confines are without you 
hitting your haed against a wall and then finding out you've hit a 
boundary.
