Hi, I’m using this code to connect Flash CS5 to WebORB:  
import flash.display._;  
import fl.events._;  
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;  
import [flash.net](http://flash.net)._;  
import flash.utils._;  
import fl.transitions.\*;  
//  
var connection:NetConnection;  
//  
function initORB(){  
var gateway:String = “[http://www.domain.com/weborb30/console/weborb.aspx](http://www.domain.com/weborb30/console/weborb.aspx)”;  
connection=new NetConnection();  
connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET\_STATUS, netStatusHandler);  
connection.connect(gateway);  
}  
//  
function netStatusHandler(e:NetStatusEvent)  
{  
trace(“status entered”);  
}  
initORB();  
The strange thing is that:

[LIST=1]  
[_]the netStatusHandler function NEVER gets called;  
[_]but I can call any orb exposed method (that’s not possible if Flash and WebORB are not connected);  
[/LIST]  
The fact is that I want to know if the client is connected too.
