I dont know if you already solved this problem correctly, but there is a sollution.
This error probably always happends if you have not yet started your application but already start sending messages to it right?
It also sounds like you are building a logger of some sort. (if not, you can use the same approach)
What you can do it this. Create a private var called _canSend and _hasListeners (default them both to false), create getters and setters for _canSend, then in the function you use to send over the localconnection, check if(!_hasListeners) and you add the listener for the StatusEvent. In the event handler just trace out something. Like this:


private static var _hasListeners:Boolean = false;
private static var _isLogging:Boolean = true;

public function get isLogging():Boolean {
return _isLogging;
}
public function set isLogging(value:Boolean):void {
_isLogging = value;
}

and then the actual sending like so;

public static function send(pInput:*, level:String):void {

if(!_hasListeners) {
LOCAL_CONNECTION.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatusHandler);
}
if(_isLogging) {
LOCAL_CONNECTION.send( LOCAL_CONNECTION_NAME , OUTPUT_METHOD , pInput.toString( ) , level );
}
}

Because now you catch the event and you dont have to have you application open first before you start sending.
I hope this works for you,

Happy coding :)
