IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR raised when loading an XML file in IE6

Posted by Dennis on Jul 25, 2008 in ActionScript, Flash1 comment

An IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR was raised when I tried to load an XML file (ActionScript 3.0). This only happened in IE6 on a specific server. The strange thing was that I got a HTTP/1.0 200 OK message in my HTTP sniffer. It turns out that IE6 can’t handle a specific combination of http headers:

  • Cache-Control: no-cache
  • Content-Encoding: gzip

There’s a fix and more information here: More Flash and IE 6 Gotchas (2032 Error)

    for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(loader);
    loader.x =loader.y = i*100;
    loader.load(new URLRequest(”img”+i));
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, imageNotFound);

    }
    function imageNotFound(e:IOErrorEvent) {
    //Here, what code I have to write for load default Image?
    }
