Hello,

I’m using a loader on a portfolio website I’m making. I use it to load Images and put them in the displaylist etc.

the loader works perfectly, but I want to catch the error for if the URL isn’t correct.

I’ve got this:

```auto
try{
    _loader.load(_location);
} catch(error:IOErrorEvent) {
    trace("IOErrorEvent catch: " + error);
} catch(error:TypeError) {
    trace("TypeError catch: " + error);
} catch(error:Error) {
    trace("Error catch: " + error);
} finally {
    trace("Finally!");
}

```

\_location is the URL, tested and works fine if the url is correct, but if not the error comes ugly anyway, it isn’t ‘cought’.

anyone know how to fix it?
