event.isError not firing in my display.loadRemoteImage()

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Not sure if bug or me.

My code:
[lua]local function networkListener( event )
if ( event.isError ) then
print ( “Network error - download failed” )
else
event.target.alpha = 0
transition.to( event.target, { alpha = 1.0 } )
end
print ( "RESPONSE: " … event.response )
end
local imagefile = “http://shop.rareparts.com/img/img300/” … mastnum … “.jpg”
print(“imagefile=” … imagefile)
display.loadRemoteImage( imagefile, “GET”, networkListener, mastnum … “.jpg”, system.TemporaryDirectory, 10, 170 )[/lua]

If the image file doesn’t exist the temp still get created but is unreadable by Preview (Snow Leopard).
It’s a smaller size too. Corona is happy, just nothing displayed.
What I’m trying to display is an alternate image or simply text “Image not available”

If it’s me, where am I going wrong? If a bug, is there another way to check the results/image to confirm download good/bad?

TIA

Devised a work-around but hopefully there is a better way.

I display a “Checking for Image” text message in the area that would be covered by image.
With a timer delay I change the message to “No image available”

Not as nice as the real thing would be as sometimes timer runs out before image loads but that’s minor as the image covers it all up.

Not best but better than leaving the user hang expecting an image.
