It might be simplistic (I'm a noob) but this is what I do:
private function faultHandler(fault:FaultEvent):void
{
switch(fault.fault.faultCode.toString())
{
case "Client.Error.RequestTimeout":
Alert.show("The server is not responding. Please
check that you are connected and the server is running.", "Server
Timeout");
break;
default:
Alert.show(fault.fault.faultString,
fault.fault.faultCode.toString());
break;
}
}
