unable to get HTTP response code/headers in actionscript 3?

Question

I\'m using URLLoader to POST to a server. The xml response from the server can respond with a 404 or a 403 (forbidden) error. However I am unable to get the response codes

Answer 1

the ability to look at the headers is limited in several browsers, therefore flash has a problem with being passed the information. this is mainly blamed on the browser settings, but i have yet to find one where it actually works. status event output.

i gave up and had the file print the response code in my projects, not wonderful (and somewhat defeating the point) but seems to work.
