I'm guessing this is a real  [.NET] newbie error but I wanted to record it anyway -  for anyone searching for a potential cause/solution.

Today I installed WebOrb for .NET on Windows7 (IIS7).
I was given a .dll file which I put in my bin folder and I renamed the .dll (bad move!  I was assured that this wouldn't cause any issues but it did).

As you can see below, the error messages I received did not indicate the cause:

[SWF] /weborb30/NotePerfect_FLEX-debug/NotePerfect_FLEX.swf - 952,782 bytes after decompression
Warning: Failed to load policy file from https://localhost/crossdomain.xml

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***

Connection to https://localhost/weborb30/NotePerfect_FLEX-debug/weborb.aspx halted - not permitted from http://localhost/weborb30/NotePerfect_FLEX-debug/NotePerfect_FLEX.swf

I had a cross-domain policy in place but still got this error, and I'm not sure why renaming the .dll causes Flex to try to connect over https.  Anyway, re-renaming the file sorts the problem.
