Class | public class SecurityErrorEvent
Inheritance | SecurityErrorEvent ErrorEvent TextEvent Event Object

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Player Version : | Flash Player 9

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 = "")`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Player Version : | Flash Player 9

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 How to use examples
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.

    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);
            }
        }
    }
