Alex, That's not good news! Is there any way to catch uncaught errors at the module level at least?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to get GlobelErrorHandling working.
I should first clarify. GEH is working for multiple SWF apps, except for modules. I don’t have the details but I think it is because modules discard their loader right away whereas sub-apps generally do not. The purpose of GEH is to catch all errors thrown that are not caught by try/catch blocks beforehand. Flex does a significant amount of its work via the LayoutManager’s validation phases and all of those are wrapped in try/catch blocks that can be turned on by setting UIComponentGlobals.catchCallLaterExceptions=true. If you can configure your app to do as much work as possible via invalidation/validation, more of those errors will be caught, but not everything will.
