InheritanceProLoaderInfo Inheritance EventDispatcher Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

This class is used by ProLoader in place of LoaderInfo. It mirrors LoaderInfo APIs for safe loading of SWF files that use TLF with default RSL preloading settings. This class is designed to be backwards-compatible to Flash Player 9.

Some members of this class, including childSandboxBridge and parentSandboxBridge, are not supported in all versions of Flash Player and AIR. Call these properties only when your published AIR or Flash Player version supports them. Calling these properties in other contexts results in runtime errors.

Property Detail

actionScriptVersion

property
actionScriptVersion:uint  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The ActionScript version of the loaded SWF file. The language version is specified by using the enumerations in the ActionScriptVersion class, such as ActionScriptVersion.ACTIONSCRIPT2 and ActionScriptVersion.ACTIONSCRIPT3.

Note: This property always has a value of either ActionScriptVersion.ACTIONSCRIPT2 or ActionScriptVersion.ACTIONSCRIPT3. ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 are both reported as ActionScriptVersion.ACTIONSCRIPT2 (version 2.0). This property only distinguishes ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 from ActionScript 3.0.

applicationDomain

property 
applicationDomain:ApplicationDomain  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

When an external SWF file is loaded, all ActionScript 3.0 definitions contained in the loaded class are stored in the applicationDomain property.

All code in a SWF file is defined to exist in an application domain. The current application domain is where your main application runs. The system domain contains all application domains, including the current domain and all classes used by Flash Player or Adobe AIR.

All application domains, except the system domain, have an associated parent domain. The parent domain of your main application's applicationDomain is the system domain. Loaded classes are defined only when their parent doesn't already define them. You cannot override a loaded class definition with a newer definition.

For usage examples of application domains, see the "Client System Environment" chapter in the ActionScript 3.0 Developer's Guide.



Implementation
    public function get applicationDomain():ApplicationDomain

bytesLoaded

property 
bytesLoaded:uint  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The number of bytes that are loaded for the media. When this number equals the value of bytesTotal, all of the bytes are loaded.

bytesTotal

property 
bytesTotal:uint  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

Before the first progress event is dispatched by this object's corresponding ProLoader object, bytesTotal is 0. After the first progress event from the ProLoader object, bytesTotal reflects the actual number of bytes to be downloaded.



Implementation
    public function get bytesTotal():uint

childAllowsParent

property 
childAllowsParent:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

Expresses the trust relationship from content (child) to the ProLoader (parent). If the child has allowed the parent access, true; otherwise, false. This property is set to true if the child object has called the allowDomain() method to grant permission to the parent domain or if a URL policy is loaded at the child domain that grants permission to the parent domain. If child and parent are in the same domain, this property is set to true.

childSandboxBridge

property 
childSandboxBridge:Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

An object that can be set by the loaded content's code to expose properties and methods that can be accessed by code in the ProLoader object's sandbox. This sandbox bridge lets content from a non-application domain have controlled access to scripts in the AIR application sandbox, and vice versa. The sandbox bridge serves as a gateway between the sandboxes, providing explicit interaction between application and non-application security sandboxes.



Implementation
    public function get childSandboxBridge():Object
    public function set childSandboxBridge(value:Object):void

Throws
SecurityError — Only content in the loaded content's sandbox can set this property.

content

property 
content:DisplayObject  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The loaded object associated with this ProLoaderInfo object.

contentType

property 
contentType:String  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The MIME type of the loaded file. The value is null if not enough of the file has loaded in order to determine the type. The following list gives the possible values:

  • "application/x-shockwave-flash"
  • "image/jpeg"
  • "image/gif"
  • "image/png"


Implementation
    public function get contentType():String

frameRate

property 
frameRate:Number  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The nominal frame rate, in frames per second, of the loaded SWF file. This number is often an integer, but need not be.

This value may differ from the actual frame rate in use. Flash Player or Adobe AIR only uses a single frame rate for all loaded SWF files at any one time, and this frame rate is determined by the nominal frame rate of the main SWF file. Also, the main frame rate may not be able to be achieved, depending on hardware, sound synchronization, and other factors.



Implementation
    public function get frameRate():Number

height

property 
height:int  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The nominal height of the loaded file. This value might differ from the actual height at which the content is displayed, since the loaded content or its parent display objects might be scaled.



Implementation
    public function get height():int

isURLInaccessible

property 
isURLInaccessible:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2

Indicates if the ProLoaderInfo.url property has been truncated. When the isURLInaccessible value is true the ProLoaderInfo.url value is only the domain of the final URL from which the content loaded. For example, the property is truncated if the content is loaded from http://www.adobe.com/assets/hello.swf, and the ProLoaderInfo.url property has the value http://www.adobe.com. The isURLInaccessible value is true only when all of the following are also true:

  • An HTTP redirect occurred while loading the content.
  • The SWF file calling ProLoader.load() is from a different domain than the content's final URL.
  • The SWF file calling ProLoader.load() does not have permission to access the content. Permission is granted to access the content the same way permission is granted for BitmapData.draw(): call Security.allowDomain() to access a SWF file (or for non-SWF file content, establish a policy file and use the LoaderContext.checkPolicyFile property).

Note: The isURLInaccessible property was added for Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.0. However, this property is made available to SWF files of all versions when the Flash runtime supports it. So, using some authoring tools in "strict mode" causes a compilation error. To work around the error use the indirect syntax myLoaderInfo["isURLInaccessible"], or disable strict mode. If you are using Flash Professional CS5 or Flex SDK 4.1, you can use and compile this API for runtimes released before Flash Player 10.1 and AIR 2.

For application content in AIR, the value of this property is always false.

loaderURL

property 
loaderURL:String  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The URL of the SWF file that initiated the loading of the media described by this ProLoaderInfo object. For the instance of the main class of the SWF file, this URL is the same as the SWF file's own URL.



Implementation
    public function get loaderURL():String

parameters

property 
parameters:Object  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

An object that contains name-value pairs that represent the parameters provided to the loaded SWF file.

You can use a for-in loop to extract all the names and values from the parameters object.

The two sources of parameters are: the query string in the URL of the main SWF file, and the value of the FlashVars HTML parameter (this affects only the main SWF file).

The parameters property replaces the ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 technique of providing SWF file parameters as properties of the main timeline.

The value of the parameters property is null for ProLoader objects that contain SWF files that use ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0. It is only non-null for ProLoader objects that contain SWF files that use ActionScript 3.0.



Implementation
    public function get parameters():Object

parentAllowsChild

property 
parentAllowsChild:Boolean  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS5.5
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

Expresses the trust relationship from ProLoader (parent) to the content (child). If the parent has allowed the child access, true; otherwise, false. This property is set to true if the parent object called the allowDomain() method to grant permission to the child domain or if a URL policy file is loaded at the parent domain granting permission to the child domain. If child and parent are in the same domain, this property is set to true.
