Answer 1

Is your SWF hosted on the same domain? If so, is it being served over HTTPS as well? If the answer is no to either of those questions, you'll need a crossdomain.xml file at the root of the server hosting the service you want to call. You might check out this Adobe article on the subject.

For example, this would allow a SWF served over HTTP on example.com to access HTTPS services on your server:

crossdomain.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
    "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"&gt;

<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="example.com" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

Ensure that the crossdomain.xml file is accessible from the root of your domain (ie: http://myserver.com/crossdomain.xml).

Hope that helps.

make sure that the certificate is valid or accepted in the browser (under windows it does not matter which browser you are using you have to accept the certificate in Internet Explorer)
