Help: Very simple HTTPService issue

Question

I have created very simple test :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
[Bindable]
public var srv:HTTPService;
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="Is it working?" />
</mx:Application>
This application is rendered by tomcat here :
http://jc.studiogdo.com (you can
test)
As the HTTPService is declared, you can see that nothing is
rendered!!!! On a local machine (tomcat running on my localhost)
then it works on IE. On real server like this example nothing
works!!! Of course without declaring the HTTPService everything
works... I've created this example with Flex Builder2 on eclipse
useProxy is false, so no need for a crossdomain.xml... Where
is the error????
Many thanks for help..

Answer 1

The issue is that : declaring the HTTPService stops the
player (even if the play parameter is set to true for the embed
object) when the application is served from a tomcat server (not a
local file), so it works only if I forces (right menu) the play
menu item.
What happens :
On a local file : FF and IE accepts to autoplay the
application
On a local tomcat (localhost url) : FF refuses to auto play,
IE accepts.
On a real distant tomcat server : FF and IE refuses to
autoplay
I think this is for security reason? But how to force the
play parameter to be used anyway... (I repeat to be sure
understanding : the simple HTTPService declaration changes the way
the play parameter is evaluated..)
