Help with FMS Example

I was going through the tutorial documentated at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/on_demand_player.html by Mr Robert Sandie. Despite following every step that was described in the tutorial, whenever I click on the "OnDemandPlayer.html" page, a warning message that reads

The following local application on your computer or network "..\OnDemandPlayer.swf" is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location "dev.cyprus.shorecomp.net" ...

The screen fails to display the video supposed to be stream from my FMS instance (white screen).

I have gone through the codes but there isn't a single place that I can find "dev.cyprus.shorecomp.net" being declared.

Does anyone knows where I got it wrong? Thank you guys for your kind assistance.

    JayCharles : A million thanks for your explaination.

    I sort of just needed a very very basic demonstration of the streaming capabilities in FMS and I actually got my solution from this thread.

    The domain "dev.cyprus.shorecomp.net" is coded into the .swf that came with the example. Export your own .swf with your domain, and it should work fine.

    So you know, that error is a result of the flashplayer's sandbox security. If you run an .swf locally, and it tries to connect to an internet location, you get the warning. If you serve the .swf from an internet location (or the same host that the .swf is trying to connect to), you won't get the warning.
