Try throwing some traces in there along with the Alerts. For some
reason I've had trouble getting Alert dialogs to appear (I'd make the
call to show it but it would never show up on screen). I never
figured out why it was happening, but it's possible you're having the
same problem. Maybe things are working, but the Alert boxes just
aren't displaying for some reason.

I've tried querying the domain property of the connection from both
ends, and it is indeed returned as "localhost" so I know the movies
are playing in the same sandbox.
