This feature is sorely needed - I sure hope they get this into the next version of the Flash Player.

They’ve moved it into a feature request. Here’s the new url:

I miss this possibility too.
Why is the Application.error not fired when an exception is not caught?
If the debug-player can show the stack trace, why cant we get an Event somewhere.
Since evrything occurs based on an event, the best place to catch all not yet caught exceptions would be in the EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent i think.

well, I suppose you just have one main entry point in your code

then just wrap this one in a try/catch and it should catch any errors

in case you can not/don’t want to use the debug player

Thanks seno… loved your 100 Actionscript3 tips. . It’s fantastic that it it notifies my eyes with the debug player. But I need something like this for as3.

If you install the Debug player, uncaught exceptions should be visible via popup dialog
