Problem while passing url's for URLRequest() class as parameter in Flash

Question

Hi all,
     I am calling java servlets from flash using the following code[below is a sample Flash code for calling a java servlet in Flash which I am using]:
...bla ...bla
String url_String="http://localhost:8080/servlet/getViews";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url_String);
...bla ...bla
In this case, the servlet is called/working fine only in my system where the flash application is deployed & not working when I execute the application in different system using the "IPAddress" of my system.
So, What changes I need to make in above Flash code in order to call the same servlet successfully from my system and as well as from other systems?
(OR)
Is there any need to pass the servlet-url's relative instead of absolute?
If so,
How can we pass relative-path of url's in Flash? &&
Can anyone explain me with an example?
Atlast, Can anyone tell me how to change my above code to pass the url 'relative' rather than 'absolute'?
If I pass the url relatively, does my issue gets resolved?
If, Please, can anyone help me by giving solution to my problem... [Or] else, to either of my queries or both...
Thanks in advance...
I am waiting for your replies...

Did you read the ActionScript 3.0 documentation I linked to in my last post?
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("XMLFile.xml");
Example of using absolute URL:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost:8080/servlet/getViews");
Example of using relative URL:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("servlet/getViews");
If the server port (8080) needs to be specified, you could declare a variable for the server URL and use it as a parameter.
var serverURL:String = "http://localhost:8080/";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(serverURL + "servlet/getView");
