| Package | flash.errors |
| Class | public dynamic class ScriptTimeoutError |
| Inheritance | ScriptTimeoutError  Error Object |
| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Two ScriptTimeoutError exceptions are thrown. The first exception you can catch and exit cleanly. If there is no exception handler, the uncaught exception terminates execution. The second exception is thrown but cannot be caught by user code; it goes to the uncaught exception handler. It is uncatchable to prevent the player from hanging indefinitely.

Examples How to use this example
ScriptTimeoutErrorExample.as
The following example uses the sample ScriptTimeoutErrorExample class to show
the error generated in the event of script timeout. This is accomplished with the following
steps:
- A
keepLookingBoolean property is declared. - The constructor calls the
lockMachine()method within an error handling code segment that catches ScriptTimeoutError objects. - The
lockMachine()method contains an endlesswhileloop. - After awhile, the ScriptTimeoutError is thrown. The constructor catches it,
outputs an error message through the
tracestatement and resets thekeepLookingBoolean tofalse, which terminates thewhileloop inlockMachine().
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.errors.ScriptTimeoutError;
public class ScriptTimeoutErrorExample extends Sprite {
private var keepLooping:Boolean = true;
public function ScriptTimeoutErrorExample() {
try {
lockMachine();
}
catch(e:ScriptTimeoutError) {
trace(e); // ScriptTimeoutError: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than 15 seconds
keepLooping = false;
}
}
private function lockMachine():void {
while(keepLooping){
}
}
}
}
