The ErrorEvent class defines only one type of error event: 
ErrorEvent.ERROR. The ErrorEvent class also serves as the base class for 
several other error event classes, including the AsyncErrorEvent, IOErrorEvent, 
SecurityErrorEvent, SQLErrorEvent, and UncaughtErrorEvent classes.
You can check for error events that do not have any listeners by 
registering a listener for the uncaughtError (UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR) 
event.
An uncaught error also causes an error dialog box displaying the error event to appear when content is running in the debugger version of Flash Player or the AIR Debug Launcher (ADL) application.

Implementation
    public function get errorID():int| ErrorEvent | () | Constructor | 
public function ErrorEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false, text:String = "", id:int = 0)| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4 | 
Creates an Event object that contains information about error 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 inheritedtypeproperty. 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 inheritedbubblesproperty. | |
| cancelable:Boolean(default =false)— Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inheritedcancelableproperty. | |
| text:String(default = "")— Text to be displayed as an error message. Event listeners can access this information through thetextproperty. | |
| id:int(default =0)— A reference number to associate with the specific error (supported in Adobe AIR only). | 
| clone | () | method | 
override public function clone():Event| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4 | 
Creates a copy of the ErrorEvent object and sets the value of each property to match that of the original.
Returns| Event— A new ErrorEvent object with property values that match those of the original. | 
| toString | () | method | 
override public function toString():String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4 | 
Returns a string that contains all the properties of the ErrorEvent object. The string is in the following format:
[ErrorEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value text=value errorID=value]
Note: The errorId value returned by the toString() method is only available for Adobe AIR.
	While Flash Player 10.1 supports the errorID property, calling toString() on the ErrorEvent object does
	not provide the errorId value in Flash Player.
| String— A string that contains all the properties of the ErrorEvent object. | 
| ERROR | Constant | 
public static const ERROR:String = "error"| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0, Flash Lite 4 | 
	Defines the value of the type property of an error event object. 
	
This event has the following properties:
| Property | Value | 
|---|---|
| bubbles | false | 
| cancelable | false; there is no default behavior to cancel. | 
| currentTarget | The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener. | 
| target | The object experiencing a network operation failure. | 
| text | Text to be displayed as an error message. | 
errorHandler())
 that captures multiple types of error events. If there is an ioError event, the handler 
 attempts to load from the network, which then throws a securityError.
 
 Note: This example does not work if you have a file named MissingFile.xml in the same directory as your SWF file.
