Is there any way to detect a failed load operation when using the HTMLLoader in Air? I’m working on a browser-type application and I need to know when the user has lost internet connection so an error can be displayed. Right now the page just never loads and no IO error is thrown.

If it is not possible, any workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
