After much study I believe the issue here is that, if I understand the topology of Flex, the local developer needs to have write access to the app server where Flex is running because flex compiles the mxml and creates .swfs on the server, prior to running them. Is this correct? Currently our developers (who work with FlashMX) can't write to the app server. When their interface code is ready it gets deployed to the server.
Your example below is very good. I am sorry I must have missed it the first time. Everything works for me on the local machine, but not on the remote machine. Do you need a "site" defined in flexbuilder in order to run on remote? If so, where does the endpoint tag in remoteobject tag come into play, what is the point of it?
