Question

Trying to implement the new FP 10.1 Global error handler into my projects but no matter what I do any uncaught error will still show up the Exception window (both in debug and release versions of the SWF). All I want to do is to prevent these popups but instead send a message to my logger. Here’s my code …

EDIT: I simplified the code now. Could somebody do me a favor and test the following class and see if it’s works for him? Because it’s doesn’t for me! …

package
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.UncaughtErrorEvent;    

    public class GlobalErrorHandlerTest extends Sprite
    {
        public function GlobalErrorHandlerTest()
        {
            stage.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR, onUncaughtError);
            throw new Error();
        }           

        private function onUncaughtError(e:UncaughtErrorEvent):void 
        {
            var message:String;
            if (e.error["message"])
            {
                message = e.error["message"];
            }
            else if (e.error["text"])
            {
                message = e.error["text"];
            }
            else
            {
                message = e.error["toString"]();
            }

            trace("Uncaught Error: " + e.text);
        }
    }
}

I had the same issue as above – I was referencing stage.loadInfo, believing that as that references the stage, it would capture all uncaught errors. However, that doesn’t work, you have to actually follow grapefukt’s suggestion verbatim: On the actual base display object, place the code

loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.add...

When you try to place onto stage.loaderInfo or frame.loaderInfo, it has no effect.

In my case, I had to place it in the class that extended the base display object. Very Odd.
