InheritanceSecurityErrorEvent Inheritance ErrorEvent Inheritance TextEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

Flash® Player dispatches SecurityErrorEvent objects 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 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 detail
SecurityErrorEvent()constructor
public function SecurityErrorEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "")

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.

Examples

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. These events occur when network files are accessed with the local playback set to access only local files or when local files are accessed with playback set to access only network files.

Note: You need to compile the SWF file with Local Playback Security set to Access Local Files Only to generate a securityError event in this example.

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.SecurityErrorEvent;

    public class SecurityErrorEventExample extends Sprite {
        public function SecurityErrorEventExample() {
            var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);

            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[yourDomain].com");
            loader.load(request);
        }

        private function securityErrorHandler(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
            trace("securityErrorHandler: " + event);
        }
    }
}
