UncaughtErrorEvents never dispatched on SWFs loaded from the local file system on Android
We have an AIR mobile app that we build for iOS and for Android. Some weeks back, we modified the Android version to use a small preloader SWF to display a splash screen while the main app SWF loads - this considerably reduced the time between app launch and seeing something on the screen, which was unacceptably long before. So far, so good - except that we also had a handler for uncaught errors that would pop up an alert describing the error and telling the user to kill and restart the app. Ideally there would be no uncaught errors, but at least this way, users that actually know how to kill an app on their phones could continue using the app, and/or report a bug to us with a meaningful error message.
The main (loaded) SWF is packaged with the app in the APK, and I've tried adding event listeners to all the objects and event phases specified in the documentation for UncaughtErrorEvent:
The error handler is never triggered. It was working fine before the change to use a preloader SWF. Any help would be appreciated.
