I had the same questions and I did some testing today.
If you are using URLLoader.load you don't have to use the use-network
compiler switch.
Assuming you are using relative URLs, as in URLLoader.load(new
URLRequest("data.file")), you will be able to load from local to local
(when testing your app in FlashBuilder) and remote to remote (when you
deploy).
I think the compiler switch is for (remote ?) applications that use
local data files (so they can either use only local data files or only
remote data files)
