Problem with NetStatusEvent

1

I’m using amfphp for remoting and I’ve created a class that extends NetConnection to help out with this. I want to be able to track when connections are made and other events so I can play a cursor animation when things are loading. I’ve created an event listener for NetStatusEvent inside the class but it doesn’t seem to ever get triggered even though the code obviously makes a connection and works. Anyone else had a problem with this or am I doing something wrong?


package
{
    import flash.net.NetConnection;
    import flash.net.ObjectEncoding;
    import flash.events.NetStatusEvent

    public class RemotingConnection extends NetConnection
    {
        public function RemotingConnection()
        {
            addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus_Handler);
            objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
            connect("/flashservices/gateway.php");
        }
        public function netStatus_Handler(e:NetStatusEvent)
        {
            trace(e.info.code);
        }
    }
}
