An HTMLLoader or StageWebView object dispatches a LocationChangeEvent object when a new page loads.

There are two types of LocationChangeEvent:

LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGING: dispatched before a change initiated via the content displayed in a StageWebView object. Can be canceled.
LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE: dispatched after every location change. Cannot be canceled.

Constant Detail

LOCATION_CHANGE

Constant

public static const LOCATION_CHANGE:String = "locationChange"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

AIR 2.5

Dispatched after every location change.

LOCATION_CHANGING

Constant

public static const LOCATION_CHANGING:String = "locationChanging"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Dispatched before a location change that is initiated via the content displayed in an HTMLLoader or StageWebView object.

Call the preventDefault() method of the event object to prevent the change.

A locationChanging event is not dispatched when you change the location with the following methods:

historyBack()
historyForward()
historyGo()
load()
loadString()
loadURL()
reload()

HTMLLoader objects dispatch locationChanging events in AIR 2.7 and later.
