Need a try/catch but IOErrorEvent doesn't seem to support it...

I'm loading a remote image using a Loader and in the event the image is missing I want to substitute the missing image with a generic placeholder image.  Normally a try/catch construct would be perfect for this.  But with Loader, it throws an IOErrorEvent which then calls another function, and I am then thrown out of the context of my original function, so I can't easily do what I need to do.

Any ideas on how to get around this?  I'm having trouble understanding why some classes use try/catch while others throw error events.

Thanks!

you'll need to use an ioerror event handler.

and, the difference between your error and try/catch amenable errors is the difference between asynchronous errors and synchronous errors
