flash data integration : Web Services problem

I'm having trouble getting my Web Services to work correctly.

We are using Visual Studio.Net to write the Web Service. What's interesting is
that when we just use localhost to test, the webservice works correctly.
However, now that we have put the web service on a live server, it does not
work. I get this error:

WSDL download failed for the following URLs:
http://dev.2rmg.com/WebServiceTest/Test.asmx?wsdl

I even tried saving the webservice on my localhost (which worked) and put the
flash piece on a live server and that wouldn't work either. So it works on my
desktop, but not when I put the flash on a live server...

I've tried to find a solution and it looks like many others have too, but I
have yet to find an answer. Has anyone run into the same problem and figured it
out?

Is it a security issue within flash? Security issue within Visual Studio? Some
other issue?

I would love to have some response back to this. If we figure out how to use
Web Services, it's going to open up incredible opportunities for our agency.

Thanks in advance,

Do some research on the Flash sandbox security issue.
The web service proxy file needs to be local to the client flash applictaion .
Have a look at:
