unhandled IOErrorEvent loading text assets

Hey All,

I'm trying to load a .txt file in to a page. When I load that page I get a runtime error as shown below:

Code:

[object BranchLoader] [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2023: Stream Error. URL: file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/lukesturgeon/Documents/Flash/gaia/round%2D7/deploy/assets/txt/profile.txt"]
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/lukesturgeon/Documents/Flash/gaia/round%2D7/deploy/assets/txt/profile.txt

I am running Mac, Flash CS3, Gaia Framework v2.2.2

I'm not sure why I get this unhandled ioErrorEvent

If you are loading the text asset on demand, you might get that if you aren't listening for an IOErrorEvent and the file is not there.

The reason I dispatch that event up the chain is because you, the developer, should know that the asset you tried to load didn't load.  If I didn't, you might think Gaia was broken.

You should probably figure out what's wrong with your text file.  The TextAsset is the basis for XMLAsset, which is definitely working, so there's not an issue with the class.

Try loading the text file yourself with your own URLLoader.  If you don't get an IOErrorEvent, then let me know, but I have a feeling you will.

This was actually brought up again to me by hulkish and so I just wanted to let you know that you won't be getting unhandled error alerts anymore in the next version, you'll get a GaiaDebug.warn() message instead.
