Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Macromedia library functions
don't throw errors that are catchable in Actionscript using try/catch (unlike
for example, Java libraries, which are all designed to throw errors which are
catchable by the developer).
The try/catch clause in Actionscript is only really useful in detecting your
own predefined errors.
However there is some debate in the Software Engineering world at large as to
the usefulness of try/catch clauses, as using it makes source code much harder
to read and understand, and causes more lines of code to be written.
