[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 WS calls without the proxy

[Mink, Joseph]

After reading the 
following:
 
Flash applications are 
only allowed HTTP access to resources on the same domain and by the same 
protocol from which they were served. This presents a problem for web services, 
because they are typically accessed from remote locations. The Flex proxy 
intercepts requests to remote web services, redirects the requests, and then 
returns the responses to the client. 
(http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flex_Documentation&file=00000762.htm)
 
I'm left with the 
following question:  So can you make a WS call without the proxy to a 
webservice hosted by the same server that served the flex app?  Like if I 
accessed:
 
http://somewhere:8080/flex/myApp.mxml
 
could the Flash 
Player then make a WS call to http://somewhere:8080/services/myService 
without the Flex proxy?
 
Thanks!
