I have an AIR file that is connecting to a web service that is in a password protected directory on a server. I set useProxy = true and setRemoteCredentials(‘username’, ‘password’) but I keep getting this error message: [RPC Fault faultString="[MessagingError message=‘Destination ‘DefaultHTTPS’ either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the application does not define any default channels.)’]" faultCode=“InvokeFailed” faultDetail=“Couldn’t establish a connection to ‘DefaultHTTPS’”]

What do I need to do to get this to work?
