The following example assigns the status of the most recent HTTP request to the requesttatus variable, and then uses a switch statement to update a text field with the status:

requeststatus = fscommand2("GetNetworkRequestStatus"); 
switch (requeststatus) { 
 case -1: 
 _root.myText += "requeststatus not supported" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 0: 
 _root.myText += "connection to server has been made" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 1: 
 _root.myText += "connection is being established" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 2: 
 _root.myText += "pending request, contacting network" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 3: 
 _root.myText += "pending request, resolving domain" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 4: 
 _root.myText += "failed, network error" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 5: 
 _root.myText += "failed, couldn't reach server" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 6: 
 _root.myText += "HTTP error" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 7: 
 _root.myText += "DNS failure" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 8: 
 _root.myText += "request has been fulfilled" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 9: 
 _root.myText += "request timedout" + "\n"; 
 break; 
 case 10: 
 _root.myText += "no HTTP request has been made" + "\n"; 
 break; 
}
