About the System.onStatus handler

In addition to the specific onStatus methods provided for the classes listed in About onStatus event handlers, Flash also provides a "super handler" called System.onStatus. If onStatus is invoked for a particular object with a level property of Error and no function is assigned to respond to it, Flash processes a function assigned to System.onStatus if it exists.

The following code example sends a message to the Output panel when an error message occurs for an object that hasn't been assigned an onStatus handler:

System.onStatus = function(genericError) {
    // Your script would do something more meaningful here.
    trace("An error has occurred. Please try again.");
}
