Constant Detail

ERROR

Constant

public static const ERROR:String = "error"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when there is an error downloading the module. The ModuleEvent.ERROR constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for an error event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`bytesLoaded`	Empty
`bytesTotal`	Empty
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`errorText`	The error message.
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.

PROGRESS

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`bytesLoaded`	The number of bytes loaded.
`bytesTotal`	The total number of bytes to load.
`cancelable`	false
