SecurityErrorEvent

Package	flash.events
Class	public class SecurityErrorEvent
Inheritance	SecurityErrorEvent ErrorEvent TextEvent Event Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

An object dispatches a SecurityErrorEvent object to report the occurrence of a security error. Security errors reported through this class are generally from asynchronous operations, such as loading data, in which security violations may not manifest immediately. Your event listener can access the object's text property to determine what operation was attempted and any URLs that were involved. If there are no event listeners, the debugger version of Flash Player or the AIR Debug Launcher (ADL) application automatically displays an error message that contains the contents of the text property. There is one type of security error event: SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR.

Security error events are the final events dispatched for any target object. This means that any other events, including generic error events, are not dispatched for a target object that experiences a security error.

Constructor

public function SecurityErrorEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "", id:int = 0)

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

Creates an Event object that contains information about security error events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Parameters

	`type:String` — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `type` property. There is only one type of error event: `SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR`.

	`bubbles:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `bubbles` property.

	`cancelable:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `cancelable` property.

	`text:String` (default = "") — Text to be displayed as an error message. Event listeners can access this information through the `text` property.

	`id:int` (default = `0`) — A reference number to associate with the specific error.

clone

()

method

override public function clone():Event

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

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

Returns

Event — A new securityErrorEvent object with property values that match those of the original.

toString

()

method

override public function toString():String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

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

[securityErrorEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value text=value errorID=value] The errorId is only available in Adobe AIR

Returns

String — A string that contains all the properties of the SecurityErrorEvent object.

Constant Detail

SECURITY_ERROR

Constant

public static const SECURITY_ERROR:String = "securityError"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

The SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR constant defines the value of the type property of a securityError event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`currentTarget`	The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
`target`	The network object reporting the security error.
`text`	Text to be displayed as an error message.

Examples How to use this example

SecurityErrorEventExample.as

The following example uses the SecurityErrorEventExample class to show how a listener method securityErrorHandler() can be instantiated and set to listen for securityError events to be dispatched. This event will occur when a URLRequest location is not in exactly the same domain as the calling SWF, and the requested domain has not authorized cross-domain access by way of a cross-domain policy file.

To create a SecurityErrorEvent, replace http://www.[yourdomain].com with a path that has not been authorized for cross domain access.
