Hi Jim,
Here's a few things that may help.
First off, if you go into your project within Visual Studio, and then click
Debug/Start, do you get the default test page for your service? If you do,
you will find that for each method there is a link. Click on the method
you like to try, and this should take you to a page that has a button on it
(assuming you have very simple argument types), and a form that lets you
fill them in.
When you click that button, the HTTP Get protocol is used - which is
basically a query string that has the asmx address for the page where the
service lives, followed by an argument list that uses field names and
question marks just like you would expect a paramaterized query string to
look.
The HTTPGet protocol setting is something you'll find in the project's
web.config file. By default, it's always on so that the test page can be
displayed.
It isn't clear to me how this is, however, related to sending XML to a
flash movie. Flash movies aren't web services that I am aware of.
I hope this helps

May be you should add the HttpGet request protocol for the Web services
<configuration>
<system.web>
<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpGet"/>
<add type="HttpPost"/>
<add type="Documentation"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>
<system.web>
</configuration>

Thank You,
