Thanks Dan, i am now able to get rid of this error. what i am doing is, when IOErrorEvent is fired i am removing the images from the htmlText and just displaying the text.

Ok, if you're getting this from an rss feed then you're not going to like this. Also this solution uses mx_internal. If you don't know what that is, it's a set of methods/properties, that adobe says may change so they should be used with extreme care because your code might break on updates. However, in this case we're using it once to avoid creating a subclass so I think it's a fair trade. import mx.core.mx_internal ; use namespace mx_internal; // this line should be right after the import statements. ... textArea.htmlText = rssText; textArea.validatePr operties( ); // initializes image loaders var textField:UITextFie ld = textArea.getTextFie ld(); // mx_internal line to get textField of TextArea for (each imageID in rssText) { // how you actually implement this psuedo code line depends on the rssText you already have var loader:Loader = textField.getImageR eference( imageID) as Loader; var loaderInfo:LoaderIn fo = loader.contentLoade rInfo; if (loaderInfo. bytesLoaded != loaderInfo.bytesTot al) { // it would be pointless to add listeners to loaders that have completed loaderInfo.addEvent Listener( IOErrorEvent. IO_ERROR, imageLoaderErrorLis tener); // you might want to use weakReference here for memory management if it works. } } public function imageLoaderErrorLis tener(event: IOErrorEvent) :void { // inform user if you want. } - Dan Freiman On 10/28/07, arpan srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: Hi Dan, There is no stacktrace, this is the only thing i get. ----- Original Message ---- From: Daniel Freiman < [EMAIL PROTECTED] com> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2007 9:02:27 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Error with htmlText property of TextArea - "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent: . text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type"?

Sometimes i am getting this error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent: . text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type I have also put a try and catch but it is not getting caught. Also, TextArea does not have any IOErrorEvent event. I think it is due to loading of images from "img", it comes very randomly. Can anyone help me with this problem? -- Thanks, Arpan ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
