I ran into this exact same problem with my project -- we needed HTTPS
functionality, but didn't want to spend the money for a certificate, so we
created our own self-signed one...

If you're using the Flash Player inside a web browser, you can usually get
it to trust the certificate by adding it to your web-browser's trusted
certificate store.  (This procedure varies from browser to browser, so I'm
not giving details on how to do this here...  Google it -- it's easy to find
info.)

The Flash Player will see the self-signed cert in the web-browser's trusted
cert store, and will assume it is trustworthy, because you added it to the
store yourself...  Then it will stop giving errors of the "This Certificate
Cannot Be Verified" genre...

Good luck.
