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

An object dispatches an AsyncErrorEvent when an exception is thrown from native asynchronous code, which could be from, for example, LocalConnection, NetConnection, SharedObject, or NetStream. There is only one type of asynchronous error event: AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR.

Property Detail

error

property
public var error:Error

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

The exception that was thrown.

Constructor Detail

AsyncErrorEvent

()Constructor
public function AsyncErrorEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "", error:Error = null)

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

Creates an AsyncErrorEvent object that contains information about asyncError events. AsyncErrorEvent 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: ErrorEvent.ERROR.
 
bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object bubbles. 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.
 
error:Error (default = null) — The exception that occurred. If error is non-null, the event's errorId property is set from the error's errorId property.
Method Detail

clone

()method
override public function clone():Event

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

Creates a copy of the AsyncErrorEvent object and sets the value of each property to match that of the original.

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

toString

()method 
override public function toString():String

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

Returns a string that contains all the properties of the AsyncErrorEvent object. The string is in the following format:

[AsyncErrorEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value ... error=value errorID=value] The errorId is only available in Adobe AIR

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

ASYNC_ERROR

Constant
