AIR 1.0

The HTMLLoader class defines a type of display object that is a container for HTML content.

The default dimensions of an HTMLLoader are 0 x 0 pixels. Set the width and height properties to make the HTMLLoader object visible.

The maximum size for an HTMLLoader object is 4,096 pixels in height and 4,096 pixels in width. Setting width or height of an HTMLLoader object to a number that exceeds 4,095 causes the HTMLLoader object to throw an ArgumentError exception. (Note, prior to AIR 2, the maximum size of HTMLLoader object wss 2,880 pixels.)

Note: When displayed in a transparent window, SWF content embedded in an HTML page must be embedded using either the transparent or opaque wmode. The default value for wmode is window, so if you do not specify a value, SWF content may not be displayed. On Windows and Linux, SWF content always appears on top of other content when wmode is set to window or opaque. PDF content cannot be displayed in a transparent window no matter which wmode setting is used.

Property Detail

authenticate

property

authenticate:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Specifies whether authentication requests should be handled (true) or not (false) for HTTP requests issued by this object. If false, authentication challenges return an HTTP error.

The default value is initialized from URLRequestDefaults.authenticate.

Implementation
public function get authenticate():Boolean
public function set authenticate(value:Boolean):void

cacheResponse

property

cacheResponse:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Specifies whether successful response data should be cached for HTTP requests issued by this object. When set to true, the HTMLLoader object uses the operating system's HTTP cache.

The default value is initialized from URLRequestDefaults.cacheResponse.

Implementation
public function get cacheResponse():Boolean
public function set cacheResponse(value:Boolean):void

contentHeight

property

contentHeight:Number [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The height, in pixels, of the HTML content. This property can change as the dimensions of the HTMLLoader object change. For example, an HTML page often uses the entire height of the HTMLLoader object, and the contentHeight property may change if you change the height of the HTMLLoader object.

Implementation
public function get contentHeight():Number

contentWidth

property

contentWidth:Number [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The width, in pixels, of the HTML content. This property can change as the dimensions of the HTMLLoader object change. For example, an HTML page often uses the entire width of the HTMLLoader object, and the contentWidth property may change if you change the width of the HTMLLoader object.

Implementation
public function get contentWidth():Number

hasFocusableContent

property

hasFocusableContent:Boolean [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Indicates whether any content in the HTMLLoader object is focusable.

Implementation
public function get hasFocusableContent():Boolean

height

property

height:Number[override]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Specifies the height of the rectangle of the HTML canvas that is being rendered. This property value is the height of the HTMLLoader display object in pixels. The maximum height value is 4095 pixels. Changing this property causes the HTMLLoader object to re-render the HTML document. htmlBoundsChanged events may dispatched in response to changing this property.

When you set the width or height property of an HTMLLoader object, the bounds of the object change but the content is not scaled (as would happen with other types of display objects).

Implementation
override public function get height():Number
override public function set height(value:Number):void

historyLength

property

historyLength:uint [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The overall length of the history list, including back and forward entries. This property has the same value as the window.history.length JavaScript property of the HTML page.

Implementation
public function get historyLength():uint

See also

historyPosition

property

historyPosition:uint

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The current position in the history list. The history list corresponds to the window.history object of the HTML page. Entries less than the current position are the "back" list; entries greater are "forward." Attempts to set position beyond the end set it to the end.

Implementation
public function get historyPosition():uint
public function set historyPosition(value:uint):void

htmlHost

property

htmlHost:flash.html:HTMLHost

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The HTMLHost object used to handle changes to certain user interface elements, such as the window.document.title property of the HTMLLoader object. To override default behaviors for the HTMLLoader object, create a subclass of the HTMLHost class and override its member functions to handle various user interface changes in the HTML content.

Implementation
public function get htmlHost():flash.html:HTMLHost
public function set htmlHost(value:flash.html:HTMLHost):void

See also

HTMLHost class

idleTimeout

property

idleTimeout:Number

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 2

Specifies the idle timeout value (in milliseconds) for HTTP requests issued by this object.

The idle timeout is the amount of time the client waits for a response from the server, after the connection is established, before abandoning the request.

The default value is initialized from URLRequestDefaults.idleTimeout.

Implementation
public function get idleTimeout():Number
public function set idleTimeout(value:Number):void

See also

URLRequestDefaults.idleTimeout

isSupported

property

isSupported:Boolean [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 2

Indicates whether the HTMLLoader class is supported on the client system.

Implementation
public static function get isSupported():Boolean

loaded

property

loaded:Boolean [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Indicates whether the JavaScript load event corresponding to the previous call to the load() or loadString() method has been delivered to the HTML DOM in the HTMLLoader object. This property is true before the complete event is dispatched. It is possible that this property will never become true. This happens in the same cases as when the complete event is never dispatched.

Specifies whether the background of the HTMLLoader document is opaque white (true) or not (false). If this property is set to false, the HTMLLoader object uses its display object container as a background for the HTML and it uses the opacity (alpha value) of the display object container as the HTML background. However, if the body element or any other element of the HTML document has an opaque background color (specified by style="background-color:gray", for instance), then that portion of the rendered HTML uses the specified opaque background color.

Implementation
public function get paintsDefaultBackground():Boolean
public function set paintsDefaultBackground(value:Boolean):void

pdfCapability

property

pdfCapability:int [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The type of PDF support on the user's system, defined as an integer code value. An HTMLLoader object can display PDF content only if this property evaluates to PDFCapability.STATUS_OK. The PDFCapability class defines constants for possible values of the pdfCapability property, as follows:

PDFCapability constant	Meaning
`STATUS_OK`	A sufficient version (8.1 or later) of Acrobat or Adobe Reader is detected and PDF content can be loaded in an HTMLLoader object. Note: On Windows, if Acrobat or Adobe Reader version 7.x or later, is currently running on the user's system, that version is used even if a later version that supports loading PDF loaded in an HTMLLoader object is installed. In this case, if the value of the `pdfCapability` property is `PDFCapability.STATUS_OK`, when an AIR application attempts to load PDF content, the older version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays an alert (and the AIR runtime displays no error message). If this is a possibile situation for your users, consider instructing them to close Acrobat or Adobe Reader while running your application. Consider displaying these instructions if the PDF content does not load within an acceptable amount of time.
`ERROR_INSTALLED_READER_NOT_FOUND`	No version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader is detected. An HTMLLoader object cannot display PDF content.
`ERROR_INSTALLED_READER_TOO_OLD`	Acrobat or Adobe Reader has been detected, but the version is too old. An HTMLLoader object cannot display PDF content.
`ERROR_PREFERED_READER_TOO_OLD`	A sufficient version (8.1 or later) of Acrobat or Adobe Reader is detected, but the the version that is set up to handle PDF content is older than 8.1. An HTMLLoader object cannot display PDF content.

Implementation
public static function get pdfCapability():int

placeLoadStringContentInApplicationSandbox

property

placeLoadStringContentInApplicationSandbox:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.5

Specifies whether content loaded via the loadString() method is put in the application sandbox (true) or in a non-application sandbox (false).

When this property is set to false, content loaded via the loadString() method is placed in a non-application sandbox with the following characteristics:

It has access to load content from the network (but not from the filesystem).
It cannot load data using XMLHttpRequest.
The window.location property is set to "about:blank".
The content cannot access the window.runtime property (like content in any non-application sandbox).

When this property is set to true, the content loaded via the loadString() method is placed in the application sandbox, with access to the window.runtime property and to all AIR APIs. You should ensure that the data source for a string used in a call to the loadString() method is trusted. Code statements in the HTML string are executed with full application privileges when this property is set to true. You should only set this property to true when you are certain that the string cannot contain harmful code.

In applications compiled with the AIR 1.0 or AIR 1.1 SDKs, content loaded via the loadString() method is placed in the application sandbox.

The default value is false.

Implementation
public function get placeLoadStringContentInApplicationSandbox():Boolean
public function set placeLoadStringContentInApplicationSandbox(value:Boolean):void

loadString()

runtimeApplicationDomain

property

runtimeApplicationDomain:ApplicationDomain

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The application domain to use for the window.runtime object in JavaScript in the HTML page.

If null, or if the HTML content is from a different security domain than the SWF content that contains the HTMLLoader object, the page uses a default application domain for its domain.

Implementation
public function get runtimeApplicationDomain():ApplicationDomain
public function set runtimeApplicationDomain(value:ApplicationDomain):void

Throws

SecurityError — if the ApplicationDomain object is not from the caller's security domain.

scrollH

property

scrollH:Number

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The horizontal scroll position of the HTML content in the HTMLLoader object.

Implementation
public function get scrollH():Number
public function set scrollH(value:Number):void

scrollV

property

scrollV:Number

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The vertical scroll position of the HTML content in the HTMLLoader object.

Implementation
public function get scrollV():Number
public function set scrollV(value:Number):void

swfCapability

property

swfCapability:int [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 2

The type of SWF support on the user's system, defined as an integer code value. An HTMLLoader object can display SWF content only if this property evaluates to HTMLSWFCapability.STATUS_OK. The HTMLSWFCapability class defines constants for possible values of the swfCapability property, as follows:

HTMLSWFCapability constant	Meaning
`STATUS_OK`	A sufficient version of Adobe Flash Player is detected and SWF content can be loaded in an HTMLLoader object.
`ERROR_INSTALLED_PLAYER_NOT_FOUND`	No version of Adobe Flash Player is detected. An HTMLLoader object cannot display SWF content.
`ERROR_INSTALLED_PLAYER_TOO_OLD`	Adobe Flash Player has been detected, but the version is too old. An HTMLLoader object cannot display SWF content.

Implementation
public static function get swfCapability():int

See also

HTMLSWFCapability class

textEncodingFallback

property

textEncodingFallback:String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The character encoding used by the HTMLLoader content if an HTML page does not specify a character encoding. An HTML page specifies a character encoding in a meta tag, as in the following:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html" charset="ISO-8859-1">

Values are defined in the IANA list of valid character sets.

If no encoding is specified by the HTML page, by the textEncodingFallback property, or by the textEncodingOverride property, the HTML content uses ISO-8859-1 encoding.

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

See also

textEncodingOverride

property

textEncodingOverride:String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The character encoding used by the HTMLLoader content, overriding any setting in the HTML page. An HTML page specifies a character encoding in a meta tag, as in the following:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html" charset="ISO-8859-1">

This setting also overrides any setting in the textEncodingFallback property.

Values are defined in the IANA list of valid character sets.

Set the textEncodingOverride property after the HTML content has loaded to have AIR refresh the HTML content using the specified encoding. After the HTMLLoader navigates to a new page, you need to set the property again if you want the new page to use a specific encoding.

If no encoding is specified by the HTML page, by the textEncodingFallback property, or by the textEncodingOverride property, the HTML content uses ISO-8859-1 encoding.

Setting the textEncodingOverride property to null restores the default behavior.

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

See also

textEncodingFallback

useCache

property

useCache:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Specifies whether the local cache should be consulted before HTTP requests issued by this object fetch data.

The default value is initialized from URLRequestDefaults.useCache.

Implementation
public function get useCache():Boolean
public function set useCache(value:Boolean):void

userAgent

property

userAgent:String

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The user agent string to be used in any upcoming content requests from this HTMLLoader object.

To set the user agent string, set the userAgent property of the HTMLLoader object before calling the load() method. The userAgent property of the URLRequest object passed to the load() method is not used.

You can set the default user agent string used by all HTMLLoader objects in an application domain by setting the URLRequestDefaults.userAgent property. If no value is set for the userAgent property of the HTMLLoader object (or if the value is set to null), the user agent string is set to the value of the static URLRequestDefaults.userAgent property.

If a value is set for neither the userAgent property of the HTMLLoader nor for URLRequestDefaults.userAgent, a default value is used as the user agent string. This default value varies depending on the runtime operating system (such as Mac OS, Linux, or Windows), the runtime language, and the runtime version, as in the following examples:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/526.9+ (KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/1.5"
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; en) AppleWebKit/526.9+ (KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/1.5"
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/526.9+ (KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/1.5"

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

width

property

width:Number[override]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Specifies the width of the rectangle of the HTML canvas that is being rendered. This is the width of the HTMLLoader display object in pixels. The maximum width value is 4095 pixels. Changing this property causes the HTMLLoader object to re-render the HTML document. htmlBoundsChange events may dispatched in response to changing this property. When you set the width and height properties of an HTMLLoader object, the bounds of the object change but content is not scaled (as would happen with other types of display objects).

Implementation
override public function get width():Number
override public function set width(value:Number):void

window

property

window:Object [read-only]

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

The global JavaScript object for the content loaded into the HTML control.

Implementation
public function get window():Object

Constructor Detail

HTMLLoader

()

Constructor

public function HTMLLoader()

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Creates an HTMLLoader object.

Method Detail

cancelLoad

()

method

public function cancelLoad():void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Cancels any load operation in progress.

createRootWindow

()

method

 public static function createRootWindow(visible:Boolean = true, windowInitOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = null, scrollBarsVisible:Boolean = true, bounds:Rectangle = null):flash.html:HTMLLoader

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Creates a new NativeWindow object that contains an HTMLLoader object. Use the HTMLLoader object that is returned by this method to load HTML content.

By default (when you set no parameters in calling this method), the new window uses standard system chrome and includes scrollbar controls for the content. You can set the parameters to change the properties of the new window.

As the window loads content and applies stylesheets, minor graphics glitches can occur. To prevent such discontinuities from being visible, set the visible parameter to false. When the window has loaded and layed out its content, reveal it by setting the window.nativeWindow.visible property to true or call the window.nativeWindow.activate() method.

Parameters

	`visible:Boolean` (default = `true`) — Specifies whether the window is visible.

	`windowInitOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions` (default = `null`) — Specifies window initialization options; if `null`, uses default `NativeWindowInitOptions` values.

	`scrollBarsVisible:Boolean` (default = `true`) — Specifies whether the window provides scrollbars.

	`bounds:Rectangle` (default = `null`) — If not `null`, specifies the window bounds. If any of `x`, `y`, `width`, or `height` is `NaN`, then the corresponding dimension of the window is left at its default value.

Returns

flash.html:HTMLLoader — A new HTMLLoader object that is on the stage of the new NativeWindow object.

getHistoryAt

()

method

public function getHistoryAt(position:uint):flash.html:HTMLHistoryItem

Runtime Versions:

historyPosition

historyBack

()

method

public function historyBack():void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Navigates back in the browser history, if possible.

Calling this method of the HTMLLoader object has the same effect as calling the back() method of the window.history property in JavaScript in the HTML page.

This function throws no errors.

See also

historyPosition

historyForward

()

method

public function historyForward():void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Navigates forward in the browser history, if possible.

Calling this method of the HTMLLoader object has the same effect as calling the forward() method of the window.history property in JavaScript in the HTML page.

This function throws no errors.

See also

historyPosition

historyGo

()

method

public function historyGo(steps:int):void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Navigates the specified number of steps in the browser history. Navigates forward if positive, backward if negative. Navigation by zero forces a reload.

This method is equivalent to calling the go() method of the window.history property in JavaScript in the HTML page.

This function throws no errors.

Parameters

steps:int — The number of steps in the history list to move forward (positive) or backward (negative).

See also

historyPosition

load

()

method

public function load(urlRequestToLoad:URLRequest):void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Loads the HTMLLoader object with data from the site specified by the urlRequestToLoad parameter. Calling this method initially sets the loaded property to false. This method initiates an operation that always completes asynchronously.

A call to this method implicitly cancels any pending previous load operation initiated with this method or with the loadString() method. The complete event for the previous load operation will never be delivered.

It is possible that the complete event will never be delivered. This happens if any of the HTML content loaded into the HTMLLoader object never downloads completely. This can happen if the HTML content references a URL to a CGI script that repetedly generates content indefinitely.

Parameters

urlRequestToLoad:URLRequest — The URLRequest object containing information about the URL to load. In addition to the URL to load, a URLRequest object contains properties that define the HTTP form submission method (GET or POST), any data to be transmitted with the request, and request headers.

See also

flash.net.URLRequest

loadString

()

method

public function loadString(htmlContent:String):void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Loads the HTMLLoader object with the HTML content contained in the HTML string. When rendering of the of the HTML in the string is complete, the complete event is dispatched. The complete event is always dispatched asynchronously.

A call to this method implicitly cancels any pending previous load operation initiated with this method or with the load() method. The complete event for the previous load operation will never be delivered.

If the HTML specified in the string has no references to external resources, then this method synchronously renders the HTML. However, the complete event is still dispatched asynchronously. If the loaded property of this class is true immediately following a call to this function, the HTML content specified in the htmlContent argument was rendered synchronously.

Content loaded via the loadString() method is put in the application security sandbox only if the placeLoadStringContentInApplicationSandbox property is set to true.

Parameters

htmlContent:String — The string containing the HTML content to load into the HTMLLoader object.

reload

()

method

public function reload():void

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Reloads the page from the current location.

Event Detail

complete

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.COMPLETE

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that the last load operation requested by loadString or load method has completed. The event is dispatched after the JavaScript load event has fired on the HTML DOM in the HTMLLoader object. This event is always dispatched asynchronously. The event handler for this event can call any method or access any property of the HTMLLoader object.

The Event.COMPLETE constant defines the value of the type property of a complete 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 network object that has completed loading.

htmlBoundsChange

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.HTML_BOUNDS_CHANGE

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that one or both of the contentWidth and contentHeight properties of the HTMLLoader object has changed. This may be result from a new image or other content loading, for example. Event handlers may call any method or access any property of the HTMLLoader object.

The HTMLLoader object can dispatch this event any time after a load operation is initiated, even after the object has dispatched the complete event.

The Event.HTML_BOUNDS_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of an htmlBoundsChange event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`currentTarget`	The HTMLLoader object.
`target`	The HTMLLoader object.

htmlDOMInitialize

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that the HTML DOM has been created in response to a load operation. The load() and loadString() methods of the HTMLLoader object throw an exception while this event is being dispatched. Any property or method of any JavaScript object accessible from the window property of the HTMLLoader object that controls the URL that is loaded in the HTMLLoader object throws an exception if set or called while this event is dispatched. For example, setting window.location by setting the window property of the HTMLLoader object results in a JavaScript exception.

The Event.HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE constant defines the value of the type property of an htmlDOMInitialize event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.

htmlRender

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.HTML_RENDER

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that the rendering of content in the HTMLLoader object is fully up to date. This event can be dispatched quite frequently—whenever any rendering change is made to the HTML content. For example, this event is dispatched when new content is displayed as a result of a user clicking a link or when JavaScript in the page renders HTML. Event listeners can call any method or access any property of the HTMLLoader object.

Handlers of this event should check the contentWidth and contentHeight properties of the HTMLLoader object to update any scroll bars associated with it.

The HTMLLoader object can dispatch this event any time after a load operation is initiated, even after the object has dispatched the complete event.

The Event.HTML_RENDER constant defines the value of the type property of an htmlRender event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`currentTarget`	The HTMLLoader object.
`target`	The HTMLLoader object.

locationChange

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.LOCATION_CHANGE

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that the location property of the HTMLLoader object has changed. The event handler for this event can call any method or access any property of the HTMLLoader object.

The Event.LOCATION_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of a locationChange event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.

`target`	The HTMLLoader object.

See also

loadString()
load()

scroll

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.Event
property Event.type = flash.events.Event.SCROLL

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that the scrollH or scrollV property has been changed by the HTMLLoader object. The HTMLLoader object dispatches this event when JavaScript running in the HTMLLoader object invokes the scrollTo() method of the window object and the desired location is not already visible. The event is not dispatched when ActionScript code changes the scrollH or scrollV property. Event handlers may call any method or access any property of the HTMLLoader object.

Event handlers for this event should check the scrollH and scrollV properties to update any scroll bars associated with the HTMLLoader object.

The HTMLLoader object can dispatch this event any time after a load operation is initiated, even after the object has dispatched the complete event.

The Event.SCROLL constant defines the value of the type property of a scroll 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 TextField object that has been scrolled. The `target` property is not always the object in the display list that registered the event listener. Use the `currentTarget` property to access the object in the display list that is currently processing the event.

uncaughtScriptException

Event

Event Object Type: flash.events.HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent
property HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent.type = flash.events.HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent.UNCAUGHT_SCRIPT_EXCEPTION

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Signals that an uncaught JavaScript exception occurred in the HTMLLoader object. Event handlers can call any method or access any property of the HTMLLoader object. The event is cancelable, and the default behavior when running in the AIR Debug Launcher is to send the JavaScript stack to the trace output.

The HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent.UNCAUGHT_SCRIPT_EXCEPTION constant defines the value of the type property of an uncaughtScriptException event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`exceptionValue`	The result of evaluating the expression in the `throw` statement that resulted in the uncaught exception.
`stackTrace`	An array of objects that represent the stack trace at the time the `throw` statement that resulted in the uncaught exception was executed.
`target`	The HTMLLoader object.
