Yes, look at that first. Put the file in the same folder, and remove the "./".
I do not see anything wrong with the code, except for setting the content type. That makes no sense in your case, since it affects the format of the HTTP body in a post. If you don't get it by tomorrow, I'll try to do an example using as only.

Is "questionaire.xml" spelled correctly? Is this file found in the same directory as the Main.mxml? Where is this file located? You can also put <mx:traceTarget /> at the beginning of the source code right after the <mx:Application ...> tag. This will spew out the entire request which is being sent out onto the wire...it may give you some clues.
