Flash AS3 Error Stack Path

Question

Not sure how to phrase this but I'm wondering if I can create a catchall error handler that umbrellas the entirety of the code, to send to a custom handler that outputs the info graphically within the program. Something along the lines of:

root.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, this.customHandler); 

I'm hoping to stop any and all from getting to Flash Debug, without placing all of my main code in a TRY/CATCH block. . .

The keyword for this is "global exception handler" Here is a nice and up to date article about the topic targeting Actionscript:

Answer 2

You can, since flash 10.1, add a global error handler that will trap all error that have not been catch, but you can't get the stack trace into production mode since this one is only available from the debug player.
