air.net.SocketMonitor (ActionScript 3.0)

(AIR only)

Package	air.net
Class	public class SocketMonitor
Inheritance	SocketMonitor ServiceMonitor EventDispatcher Object

Monitors availablity of a TCP endpoint.

This class is included in the ServiceMonitorShim.swc file. To use classes in the air.net package in Flash, you must first drag the ServiceMonitorShim component from the Components panel to the Library and then add the following import statement to your ActionScript 3.0 code:

import air.net.*;

	Property	Defined By
		available : Boolean Whether the service is currently considered "available".	ServiceMonitor
		constructor : Object A reference to the class object or constructor function for a given object instance.	Object
		host : String [read-only] The host being monitored.	SocketMonitor
		lastStatusUpdate : Date [read-only] The time of the last status update.	ServiceMonitor
		pollInterval : Number The interval, in milliseconds, for polling the server.	ServiceMonitor
		port : int [read-only] The port being monitored.	SocketMonitor
		prototype : Object [static] A reference to the prototype object of a class or function object.	Object
		running : Boolean [read-only] Whether the monitor has been started.	ServiceMonitor

Property Detail

host

property

host:String [read-only]

The host being monitored.

Implementation
public function get host():String

port

property

port:int [read-only]

The port being monitored.

Implementation
public function get port():int

Constructor Detail

SocketMonitor

()

Constructor

public function SocketMonitor(host:String, port:int)

Creates a SocketMonitor Object for a specified TCP endpoint.

After creating a SocketMonitor, the caller should call start to begin monitoring the status of the service.

As with the Timer object, the caller should maintain a reference to the SocketMonitor object. Otherwise, the runtime deletes the object and monitoring ends.

Parameters

	`host:String` — The host to monitor.

	`port:int` — The port to monitor.

Method Detail

checkStatus

()

method

protected override function checkStatus():void

Calling the checkStatus() method of a SocketMonitor object causes the application to try connecting to the socket, to check for a connect event.

toString

()

method

public override function toString():String

Returns the string representation of the specified object.

Note: Methods of the Object class are dynamically created on Object's prototype. To redefine this method in a subclass of Object, do not use the override keyword. For example, a subclass of Object implements function toString():String instead of using an override of the base class.

Returns

String — A string representation of the object.
