Interfaces
 InterfaceDescription
 IEventDispatcher The IEventDispatcher interface defines methods for adding or removing event listeners, checks whether specific types of event listeners are registered, and dispatches events.
Classes
 ClassDescription

 ActivityEvent A Camera or Microphone object dispatches an ActivityEvent object whenever a camera or microphone reports that it has become active or inactive.
 AsyncErrorEvent An object dispatches an AsyncErrorEvent when an exception is thrown from native asynchronous code, which could be from, for example, LocalConnection, NetConnection, SharedObject, or NetStream.
 AudioOutputChangeEvent This event fires when user selects a different audio output device from Flash Player's settings UI, or an audio device gets added to / removed from the system.
 AVDictionaryDataEvent AVStream dispatch AVDictionaryDataEvent to signal ID3 tag information
 AVHTTPStatusEvent The application dispatches AVHTTPStatusEvent objects when a network request returns an HTTP status code.
 AVPauseAtPeriodEndEvent AVStream dispatches AVPauseAtPeriodEndEvent when the period end is reached for the period to which this event is requested.

 DataEvent An object dispatches a DataEvent object when raw data has completed loading.
 DatagramSocketDataEvent     A DatagramSocketDataEvent object is dispatched when Datagram socket has received data.
 DeviceRotationEvent     The DeviceRotation class dispatches DeviceRotationEvent and returns roll, yaw, pitch and quaternion data when DeviceRotation updates are obtained from the combined readings from Accelerometer and Gyroscope sensors' readings installed on the device.

 DRMDeviceGroupErrorEvent Issued by the DRMManager when any error occurs during any device group related calls. It is the application's responsibility to explicitly handle the error events.These events include cases where the user inputs valid credentials, but the voucher protecting the encrypted content restricts the access to the content.

 DRMErrorEvent The DRMErrorEvent class provides information about errors that occur when playing digital rights management (DRM) encrypted files.
 DRMLicenseRequestEvent The DRMManager dispatches a DRMLicenseRequestEvent object before each call to the loadVoucher() or loadPreviewVoucher() methods of the DRMManager object succeeds.
 DRMMetadataEvent AVSegmentedSource dispatches DRMMetadataEvent when it loads and parses files.
 DRMReturnVoucherCompleteEvent The DRMManager dispatches a DRMVoucherReturnCompleteEvent object when a call to the returnVoucher() method of the DRMManager object succeeds.
 DRMReturnVoucherErrorEvent The DRMManager dispatches a DRMReturnVoucherErrorEvent object when a call to the returnVoucher() method of the DRMManager object fails.
 DRMStatusEvent A NetStream object dispatches a DRMStatusEvent object when the content protected using digital rights management (DRM) begins playing successfully (when the voucher is verified, and when the user is authenticated and authorized to view the content).
 ErrorEvent An object dispatches an ErrorEvent object when an error causes an asynchronous operation to fail.
 Event The Event class is used as the base class for the creation of Event objects, which are passed as parameters to event listeners when an event occurs.
 EventDispatcher The EventDispatcher class is the base class for all runtime classes that dispatch events.
 EventPhase The EventPhase class provides values for the eventPhase property of the Event class.
 FileListEvent     A File object dispatches a FileListEvent object when a call to the getDirectoryListingAsync() method of a File object successfully enumerates a set of files and directories or when a user selects files after a call to the browseForOpenMultiple() method.
 FocusEvent An object dispatches a FocusEvent object when the user changes the focus from one object in the display list to another.
 FullScreenEvent The Stage object dispatches a FullScreenEvent object whenever the Stage enters or leaves full-screen display mode.
 GameInputEvent     The GameInputEvent class represents an event that is dispatched when a game input device has either been added or removed from the application platform.
 GeolocationEvent     A Geolocation object dispatches GeolocationEvent objects when it receives updates from the location sensor installed on the device.
 GestureEvent The GestureEvent class lets you handle multi-touch events on devices that detect complex user contact with the device (such as pressing two fingers on a touch screen at the same time).
 GesturePhase The GesturePhase class is an enumeration class of constant values for use with the GestureEvent, PressAndTapGestureEvent, and TransformGestureEvent classes.
 HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent     An HTMLLoader object dispatches an HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent object whenever a JavaScript exception is thrown and not handled with a catch statement.
 HTTPStatusEvent The application dispatches HTTPStatusEvent objects when a network request returns an HTTP status code.
 IMEEvent An IMEEvent object is dispatched when the user enters text using an input method editor (IME).
 InvokeEvent     The NativeApplication object of an AIR application dispatches an invoke event when the application is invoked.
 IOErrorEvent An IOErrorEvent object is dispatched when an error causes input or output operations to fail.
 KeyboardEvent A KeyboardEvent object id dispatched in response to user input through a keyboard.
 LocationChangeEvent     An HTMLLoader or StageWebView object dispatches a LocationChangeEvent object when a new page loads.
 MediaEvent     CameraRoll and CameraUI classes dispatch MediaEvent objects when a media stream is available.
 MouseEvent A MouseEvent object is dispatched into the event flow whenever mouse events occur.
 NativeDragEvent     Native drag events are dispatched by the interactive objects involved in a drag-and-drop operation.
 NativeProcessExitEvent     This event is dispatched by the NativeProcess object when the process exits.
 NativeWindowBoundsEvent     A NativeWindow object dispatches a NativeWindowBoundsEvent object when the size or location of the window changes.
 NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent     A NativeWindow object dispatches events of the NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent class when the window display state changes.
 NetDataEvent A NetStream object dispatches a NetDataEvent object when a data message is encountered in the media stream.
 NetMonitorEvent A NetMonitor object dispatches NetMonitorEvent objects when a NetStream object is created.
 NetStatusEvent A NetConnection, NetStream, or SharedObject object dispatches NetStatusEvent objects when a it reports its status.
 OutputProgressEvent     A FileStream object dispatches OutputProgressEvent objects as pending asynchronous file write operations are performed.
 PermissionEvent 
 PressAndTapGestureEvent The PressAndTapGestureEvent class lets you handle press-and-tap gesture on touch-enabled devices.
 ProgressEvent A ProgressEvent object is dispatched when a load operation has begun or a socket has received data.
 RemoteNotificationEvent     Contains events that are dispatched by flash.notifications.RemoteNotifier in response to push notification events from APNs.
