Packageflash.events
Classpublic class AVHTTPStatusEvent
InheritanceAVHTTPStatusEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

The application dispatches AVHTTPStatusEvent objects when a network request returns an HTTP status code.

AVHTTPStatusEvent objects are always sent before error or completion events. An AVHTTPStatusEvent object does not necessarily indicate an error condition; it simply reflects the HTTP status code (if any) that is provided by the networking stack. Some Flash Player environments may be unable to detect HTTP status codes; a status code of 0 is always reported in these cases.

In Flash Player, there is only one type of HTTPStatus event: httpStatus. In the AIR runtime, a FileReference, URLLoader, or URLStream can register to listen for an httpResponseStatus, which includes responseURL and responseHeaders properties. These properties are undefined in a httpStatus event.

Property Detail

responseHeaders

property
responseHeaders:Array

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The response headers that the response returned, as an array of URLRequestHeader objects.



Implementation
    public function get responseHeaders():Array
    public function set responseHeaders(value:Array):void

Related API Elements

responseURL

property 
responseURL:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

The URL that the response was returned from. In the case of redirects, this will be different from the request URL.



Implementation
    public function get responseURL():String
    public function set responseURL(value:String):void

status

property 
status:int  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

The HTTP status code returned by the server. For example, a value of 404 indicates that the server has not found a match for the requested URI. HTTP status codes can be found in sections 10.4 and 10.5 of the HTTP specification at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html.

If Flash Player or AIR cannot get a status code from the server, or if it cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is passed to your code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player (for example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is always generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the following browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player: Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh.



Implementation
    public function get status():int
Constructor Detail

AVHTTPStatusEvent

()Constructor
public function AVHTTPStatusEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, status:int = 0, responseUrl:String = null, responseHeaders:Array = null)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4

Creates an Event object that contains specific information about HTTP status 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 HTTPStatus event: AVHTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS.
 
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.
 
status:int (default = 0) — Numeric status. Event listeners can access this information through the status property.
 
responseUrl:String (default = null)
 
responseHeaders:Array (default = null)

Event — A new AVHTTPStatusEvent object with property values that match those of the original.

toString

()method 
override public function toString():String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0

[AVHTTPStatusEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value status=value]

Returns
String — A string that contains all the properties of the AVHTTPStatusEvent object.
Constant Detail

AV_HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS

Constant
public static const AV_HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS:String = "avHttpResponseStatus"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4

Unlike the httpStatus event, the httpResponseStatus event is delivered before any response data. Also, the httpResponseStatus event includes values for the responseHeaders and responseURL properties (which are undefined for an httpStatus event. Note that the httpResponseStatus event (if any) will be sent before (and in addition to) any complete or error event.

The AVHTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS constant defines the value of the type property of a httpResponseStatus event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
responseURLThe URL from which the response was returned.
responseHeadersThe response headers that the response returned, as an array of URLRequestHeader objects.
statusThe HTTP status code returned by the server.
targetThe network object receiving an HTTP status code.
