Thanks guys that helped :) I was looking at this example from the
programming in AS3
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://
www.[yourdomain].com/params.txt");
var variables:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
variables.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
variables.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
try
{
variables.load(request);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace("Unable to load URL: " + error);
}
so here the trace statement would not get traced ??

Hi Firdosh,
the flash player loads things asynchronously.
This means, your try catch block is over before the error occurs.
Cheers,
