Where to use onStatus handlers in a script

Because of network and thread timing issues, it is best to place an
method in a script. Otherwise, the connection might complete before the script

About overriding the onStatus handler

Even if you don't need to do anything in the
generic handler whenever you create an object, as shown in the following example:
onStatus
// Create function to trace all the status info.
function traceStatus(info) {
trace("Level: " + info.level + " Code: " + info.code);
}
// Assign this function to onStatus handlers when you create objects.
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.onStatus = traceStatus;
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_ns.onStatus = traceStatus;
As you develop your application and determine that you need to actually override the handler
for a specific purpose, you can modify the code that assigns the
your handler, but in the meantime you can at least see all of the messages related to
onStatus
your application.
Always check for status messages on both the client and server.
