I use the mx:Text field to display html-text, using the htmltext property,
however when I embed a html I may get a Unhandled IOErrorEvent. I want to catch
this exception (and ignore, or display a warning).
Because the content I am showing i the html-field is edited by multiple users,
and may contain errors (including links to non-existing images.

Is there a way to capture these Errors?

At what point do you get the unhandled ioErrorEvent? When they are editing it? When you say embed how are you embedding it?

I get the ioErrrorEvent when I load the swf. Embedding text are done in a
client form (html-form,not flex, without validation).

But how the users edit the html is irrelevant, since theese error will occor
(can also happen if images gets deleted from the source) - so I need a way to
ignore these errors.

I know that only users with the debug player will actually see the error
message, but I want to avoid that as well.

Hope someone has a solution to this problem!

try catch?

The Text-field is defined in mxml, and I can't enclose a try -catch clause around mxml code.

Extend or use composition to create a custom text component and override the offending function with a try ... catch in it as Amy suggested.

Have you thought about a try-catch around where you're setting the htmlText?

Thanks for replies, but yes I have tried a try-catch in actionscriptcode, to
catch the error when I set the htmltext property, but the still get the
exception thrown: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load
Never Completed.

Please gsb can you go into more detail in how you would do this, I have
included a simple application to demonstrate the error.
