Hi I have used a following code successfully.

You only have to import: import air.net.URLMonitor;

protected function init():void
        {
            // Center main AIR app window on the screen
            nativeWindow.x = (Capabilities.screenResolutionX - nativeWindow.width) / 2;
            nativeWindow.y = (Capabilities.screenResolutionY - nativeWindow.height) / 2;
            // Detects a general change in network status
            NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE,onNetworkChange);
        }

        //Checking for network connectivity
        protected function onNetworkChange(e:Event):void
        {
        //  Alert.show("Your Network State changed", "INFO");
            monitor = new URLMonitor(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com'));
            monitor.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, netConnectivity);
            monitor.start();
        }

        protected function netConnectivity(e:StatusEvent):void 
        {
            if(monitor.available)
            {
                Alert.show("Status change. You are connected to the internet", "INFO");
            }
            else
            {
                Alert.show("Status change. You are not connected to the internet", "INFO");
            }

            monitor.stop();
        }
