The HTTP status code returned by the server. For example, a value of 404 indicates that the server has not found a match for the requested URI. HTTP status codes can be found in sections 10.4 and 10.5 of the HTTP specification at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt.

If Flash Player cannot get a status code from the server, or if it cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is passed to your ActionScript code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player (for example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is always generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the following browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player: Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh.

Creates an Event object that contains specific information about HTTP status events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

Notes:

1. You need to compile the SWF file with "Local Playback Security" set to "Access Network Only" to generate a securityError event in this example.
2. You need a server running on http://www.[yourDomain].com and listening on port 80 or you will receive an httpStatusHandler event with status code 0 instead of 404.
3. You must not have a file named MissingFile.html at the root web directory of http://www.[yourDomain].com or you will not receive the correct httpStatusHandler event.
