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.

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.
