Downloading and running the latest sample code using as3salesforce.swc I get the following error when logging in (I have obscured my username and password below)...

I followed the instructions and am running my flex app locally under a JBoss server rather than embedding into Salesforce.com as an scontrol.  My username and password are the same ones I use to log in to my developer account so I know they are correct.

Anyone have any idea why?  I am stalled behind ths problem.

Thanks
