Mihai Chira updated FLEX-34385:
-------------------------------
Description:
A quirk of try-catch blocks in ActionScript is that the catch block won't catch
Errors thrown by code executed from listeners of events thrown in the try
block. We should document this, perhaps in UIComponent.dispatchEvent().
I think it would also be a good idea if we asked Adobe to updated the
documentation under LoaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents [1] and the description of
the UncaughtErrorEvents class [2] to include this.
