Charles (www.charlesproxy.com) is a great way to view/intercept network traffic (captures request/response information). Another tool that provides essentially the same thing is Service Capture (www/ kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture).
Module associations are setup in the projects properties (Flex Modules tab), but can be written/compiled separately (create a new project and set the default application to point to the module file, discarding the application file). If your external swfs are being served outside the local sandbox (server based) amke sure your crossdomain.xml file is present and valid.
