[flexcoders] basic exception handling

[dantmcgowan]

All,
  When I am catching exceptions the catch seems to be ignored and the
actionscript error window pops up. For example if I have a simple
service like this:

    <mx:HTTPService
            id="simpleService"
            url="http://example.com/someservice/";
            useProxy="false"
            method="GET">

And I have a try catch block like this with one statement inside. If I
comment out this statement no errors...so I know this statement is
causing the error:

           
            try {
                simpleService.send();
            }
            catch(errObject:Error) {
                trace("<Error> "+errObject.message);
            }

The scenarios that throw errors (for example TypeError: Error #1034)
opens the actionscript error window and the trace does not appear.
What do I need to be doing so the exception is consumed in the catch
and no error window? Thanks,

Dan
