Examples How to use examples
SecurityErrorExample.as
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);
                }
            }
        }
    }
