Absolutely you can. We do this quite regularly. If the WS lives on the same host, why introduce the overhead of the proxy.
You need to do two things. 1) You need to modify flex-config.xml to allow the compiled swf to bypass the proxy. <proxy-use-policy>client</proxy-use-policy> You could force all the swf's to bypass the proxy by doing <proxy-use-policy>never</proxy-use-policy> 2) You need to use the following attributes in your <mx:WebService> tag wsdl="/foo/bar/path.to.wsdl" useProxy="false" -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
