Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Runtime Versions:

AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10

Load the referenced external URL as binary data. Supported schemes are the standard JVM URL schemes such as HTTP, FTP, file:///, etc., as well as file:// (to fetch data from a local file, i.e. the same server as the application).

Note: An exception is not thrown if the URL appears valid but the referenced resource cannot be read. In this case, the operation is deemed successful but null is returned instead of the bytes.

Parameters

url:String — The absolute URL from which to retrieve the data.

Returns

com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken — A ByteArray containing the binary data retrieved or null if the URL was syntactically valid but the data could not be read from the resource (e.g. the resource doesn't exist).

Throws

Error — If the URL is syntactically incorrect, relative or not supported.
