The SecurityError exception is thrown when some type of security violation takes place.

Examples of security errors:

An unauthorized property access or method call is made across a security sandbox boundary.
An attempt was made to access a URL not permitted by the security sandbox.
A socket connection was attempted to an unauthorized port number, e.g. a port below 1024 without a policy file present.
An attempt was made to access the user's camera or microphone, and the request to access the device was denied by the user.

Examples

The following example shows how a SecurityError error can be generated and handled within a try...catch statement by attempting to connect to a port number that is one larger than the maximum allowed.

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.net.Socket;

    public class SecurityErrorExample extends Sprite {

        public function SecurityErrorExample() {
            try {
                var host:String = "www.[yourDomain].com";
                var socket:Socket = new Socket();
                socket.connect(host, 65536);
            }
            catch(e:SecurityError) {
                trace(e);
            }
        }
    }
}
