There are many cases where code like this might be used to integrate components that may or may not be present. In such cases, the load error isn't a true error, and it would be nice to be able to silence it. 621852 1 mihaip 2012-05-11 11:59:42 -0700 I think the console spew might happen via the inspector directly, before the event is dispatched (at least, if I add a logging statement in the error event handler, it gets output after the red 'GET <url>' line). 622045 2 aa 2012-05-11 15:40:05 -0700 I'm just closing this in favor of 86263.
