<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical"
verticalAlign="middle"
backgroundColor="white">
<mx:Image id="img"
source="http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/404.gif"
width="160"
height="120"
ioError="img.errorString = event.text;" />
</mx:Application>
The error string only appears if you hover your mouse over the broken image skin.
