I have a number of cases where I get IOErrorEvent. I’m loading a number of things here and there, such as .swf, .xml, .dae, .jpg, etc…  
Here is an image loader I’m using:

```auto

var promoLoader:Loader = new Loader();
promoLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, function(evt:IOErrorEvent):void { trace(evt) } );
promoLoader.load(new URLRequest("someUrl.jpg);

```

I keep getting the error whenever the browser is redirected before the content is finished loading. Of course the error reads:

```auto
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent

```

I’m about to take a shotgun to my computer. Please help. Thanks!
