Global Error Handler for Flash Player 10.1 not working

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 a

UPDATE: I think I may know why you think this isn't working. I made the mistake of testing inside the debugger. When the debugger stopped on the runtime errors I assumed that this proved my uncaughtErrorHandler function was not working. In fact, this was in error. It's just a quirk of the debugger. The debugger will still stop as if it is an unhandled error or exception, but if you press Run again you'll see it DOES execute the error handling code. See my thread Flex 4.0/4.5 global error handling for more info.

Original response: I am looking for this same info. None of the examples in the API doc nor various blogs on the subject work for me. I've tried just loaderInfo, stage.loaderInfo, systemManager.loaderInfo... It makes no difference. I even tried all of them in a single test case! The addEventListener are being set but the uncaught errors are not firing the uncaughtErrorHandler. Argh. I have wasted far too much time on this! I've reduced it to a very simple program much like above except with all the code in the main mxml file.

How about this: can someone post a Global Error Handling example that DOES work? I'm using Flex SDK 4.1 (I've also tried with 4.5), targeting FP 10.1 (or 10.2 for 4.5), in a mx:Application-based mxml Flex project.
