Constant Detail

DELETE

Constant

public static const DELETE:String = "DELETE"

Runtime Versions:

1.0

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a DELETE.

GET

Constant

public static const GET:String = "GET"

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0,

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a GET.

HEAD

Constant

public static const HEAD:String = "HEAD"

Runtime Versions:

1.0

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a HEAD.

OPTIONS

Constant

public static const OPTIONS:String = "OPTIONS"

Runtime Versions:

1.0

Specifies that the URLRequest object is OPTIONS.

POST

Constant

public static const POST:String = "POST"

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0,

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a POST.

Note: When using the navigateToURL() function, the runtime treats a URLRequest that uses the POST method (one that has its method property set to URLRequestMethod.POST) as using the GET method.

PUT

Constant

public static const PUT:String = "PUT"

Runtime Versions:

1.0

Specifies that the URLRequest object is a PUT.

Examples

The following example loads and displays the data found in a local text file. It also traces event handling information.

Note:To run this example, put a file named example.txt in the same directory as the HTML file. That file should be a simple text file containing a few words or lines of text. Also, add the AIRAliases.js file to that directory.

The example code does the following:

The init() function creates a URLLoader instance named loader.
The loader object is passed to the configureListeners() method, which adds listeners for each of the supported URLLoader events.
A URLRequest instance named request is created, which specifies name of the file to be loaded.
The method property of the request is set to URLRequestMethod.POST.
The request object is then passed to loader.load(), which loads the text file.
When the URLLoader has finished loading the text file the complete event fires, triggering the completeHandler() method. The completeHandler() method simply traces the data property, the contents of the text file.

Note: To test this example, do the following:

Add the AIRAliases.js file to the project directory.
Change the code so that the URLRequest() constructor points to a valid URL and port .
Create an application descriptor file for the project, and test the project using ADL.
