RE: [flexcomponents] Error Handling Question

[Alex Harui]

Because the error did not occur during the call to load, but in
servicing the load request asynchronously at a later time.  You may have
noticed that there was no call stack in the error.
 
So, you have to be aware of when things are not performed immediately.

Subject: [flexcomponents] Error Handling Question



Hey I was playing around with error handling

I did a simple external xml load 

var file:String=filePath +"vieweeer.xml";
var xmlURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest(file);
var xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();            
                
try{
   xmlLoader.load(xmlURL);        


}
catch(err:IOError){
   trace(err.message);
}


But It didnt catch the error, i get the error box when I run the app but
no trace statement 


But if I do 

xmlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);

it calls my errorHandler function 

Can someone please explain why the first way doesnt work ??

thanks
cheers :)
