The URL that the response was returned from. In the case of redirects, this will be different from the request URL.

The HTTP status code returned by the server. For example, a value of 404 indicates that the server has not found a match for the requested URI. HTTP status codes can be found in sections 10.4 and 10.5 of the HTTP specification at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html.

If Flash Player or AIR cannot get a status code from the server, or if it cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is passed to your code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player (for example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is always generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the following browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player: Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh.

Creates an Event object that contains specific information about HTTP status events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Creates a copy of the HTTPStatusEvent object and sets the value of each property to match that of the original.

Returns a string that contains all the properties of the HTTPStatusEvent object. The string is in the following format:

[HTTPStatusEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value status=value]

Unlike the httpStatus event, the httpResponseStatus event is delivered before any response data. Also, the httpResponseStatus event includes values for the responseHeaders and responseURL properties (which are undefined for an httpStatus event. Note that the httpResponseStatus event (if any) will be sent before (and in addition to) any complete or error event.

The HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS constant defines the value of the type property of a httpResponseStatus event object.

This event has the following properties:

Notes:

1. You need to compile the SWF file with "Local Playback Security" set to "Access Network Only" to generate a securityError event in this example.
2. You need a server running on http://www.[yourDomain].com and listening on port 80 or you will receive an httpStatusHandler event with status code 0 instead of 404.
3. You must not have a file named MissingFile.html at the root web directory of http://www.[yourDomain].com or you will not receive the correct httpStatusHandler event.
