purpose of the demo is to illustrate what can be done. It just so happens
that we're running it on the same server as the CF application is on. The
Flash will eventually be used on various site of our clients (on their
domains), and bounce through their servers to get the web service content.
So it needs to be able to connect to an arbitrary web service on an
arbitrary server platform.
