I'm very new to Flex and I have what I think it a head-scratcher.

I am building a little Flash app that will consume some web services over HTTP. When I am in Flexbuilder and run my app there, it works fine. When I goto to my FlexBuilder project on my OS and double-click on it, it works fine. When I zip up my bin-debug file, I get this error:

Security error accessing url faultCode:Channel.Security.Error faultString:
'Security error accessing url' faultDetail:'Destination: DefaultHTTP'

So I googled that and got information on about the crossdomain.xml file. Well, I can't put a crossdomain file in the service I am calling, but I can put one somewhere else. So I put the following lines in Flex app:

Security.allowDomain("vx1391");

Security.loadPolicyFile("http://vx1391:8080/job/Remote%20FIT%20Runner/ws/trunk/flash-cross-domain.xml");

My cross-domain.xml file is wide-open:

<cross-domain-policy>
  <allow-access-from domain="*"/>

</cross-domain-policy>

Which I know is bad in a prod enivironment, but right now I just need to get this working locally but outside of FlexBuilder.

Anyone want to help out this Flex-noob?
