There is a file in your installation called flex-config.xml which includes some initial configurations you will need to setup to get past this issue.
By default Flex controls send their data access requests through a proxy that runs on the server. That proxy also by default only will allow clients to connect if they are listed in a "whitelist" configured in that file. The other fix (dependant on the data acess service and topology) is that you could simply bypass the proxy. In many cases it is simply overhead. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
