HttpService only works on local!?

Question

Hello, I need help.  I've built  a simple datagrid, it is populated by an httpservice who is called on creation complete.
when I click the the run Main option, in Flex Builder, it runs no problem. When I upload the bin release, it does not populate.  Is there some setting I don't know about?

What is the url of the swf when uploaded?  If you aren't uploading to
theServer.com, you might be running into security issues.  Security is not
as tight when running from FlexBuilder.
