A StackOverflowError exception might indicate that infinite recursion has occurred, in which case a termination case needs to be added to the function. It also might indicate that the recursive algorithm has a proper terminating condition but has exhausted the stack anyway. In this case, try to express the algorithm iteratively instead.

Returns the call stack for an error at the time of the error's
construction as a string. | Error | ||
Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined. | Object | ||
Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified
as the parameter. | Object | ||
Indicates whether the specified property exists and is enumerable. | Object | ||
Sets the availability of a dynamic property for loop operations. | Object | ||
Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions. | Object | ||
[override]
Returns the string "Error" by default or the value contained in the Error.message property,
if defined. | Error | ||
Returns the primitive value of the specified object. | Object |

Examples How to use this example
StackOverflowErrorExample.as
The following example uses the sample StackOverflowErrorExample class to show
the error generated in the event of a stack overflow. This is accomplished using the following
steps:
- The constructor calls the method
lockMachine()
within an error handling code segment that catches StackOverflowError objects. - The
lockMachine()
method calls itself until the stack overflows. - After the StackOverflowError is thrown, the constructor catches it and then outputs an
error message through the
trace
statement.
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.errors.StackOverflowError; public class StackOverflowErrorExample extends Sprite { public function StackOverflowErrorExample() { try { lockMachine(); } catch(e:StackOverflowError) { trace(e); // StackOverflowError: Error #1023: Stack overflow. } } private function lockMachine():void { lockMachine(); } } }
