One more thing. You can write your own proxy. Depending on which server language you are using, and whether you need to deal with authentication or not, it can be as simple as two lines of code.

In Flex 1.5 you could also use the crossdomain.xml solution to allow the player to connect to a web service on a different host then it was downloaded from. Now in Flex1.5 you had the flexproxy servlet which would act as a proxy and redirect those calls tot he third party. You wouldnt need crossdomain.xml then. However, you could bypass the proxy and then use crossdomain.xml. All youre choice. In Flex2 you will need the enterprise data services to have access to the proxy. So to do what you want, and not rely on crossdomain.xml in Flex2 you need the more expensive (in line with Flex 1.5) version. The difference is for the much lower price you can skip needing the proxy *if* you own the service and can use crossdomain.xml. If you dont, you need the enterprise version.
