Error #2046 Show Stopper!

I sure hope someone can give me a definitive answer about how to get rid of this error.  I had completed an application in Flash Builder 4, put the updated executables on my Linux Server (where previous revs had been working fine), and when i tried it, I got a blank screen (in Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome and IE ...all of which had been working fine before).  The only change in the interim was an update to Flash Player 10.1, but curiously my app still works fine if I run it on any browser from my Windows (Apache2.2/MySQL5.1/PHP5) server.  Thankfully, I at least got an error message "Error #2046" on my new litl webbook.  The debug Flash Player logged the error message, "Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml.  The 'secure' attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files.  See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files for details."

By my bad luck, this happened on the day i was about to deploy to my client.  I've spent two days since looking for a solution, but found NOTHING but complaints from others with similar problems and no responses (no solution).  Yes, my app uses RSLs.

PLEASE HELP, I am desperate.  This was my first Flex app, and I was hitting stride until this.  Honestly, my faith in the stability/reliability of the Flex Framework is severely shaken.  I am close to jettisoning a month's work if Flex is this flakey.  I sure hope someone tells me I don't have to, because I was starting to really like FB4.

Regards,

bob

    I did a second complete re-installation of my (Ubuntu) Server w/o exposure to the Internet (to keep the creepy crawlers out) and got it working again.

    Conclusion: The only one for sure is, its real important to harden your web server if its on the big bad Internet.

    As far as Error #2046 and blank screen from a loading swf (that doesn't load), they remain a lingering, irritating mystery.

    Thanks,

    Stack Trace?  I wish I had one!  On any browser, the screen is blank.  All that shows is my app's background color, whether I load the html-wrapper or swf.

    The server is running Ubuntu Server 10.4

    BTW, I have since tried "merging into the code" at compile-time to avoid using RSL's, but still get nothing but a blank screen.  The only difference is on my litl, the Error #2046 does not appear anymore.

    Thanks,

    bob

    Clearing the local Flash Player Cache can help -  visit the page http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html and uncheck the option to "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" and click the Confirm button. 

    Then click the "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" check box again to re-enable the cache.
