Testing
-------
1.) Make sure when you compile the Flash app, the SWF goes to client/test/bitwhirl_client.swf
2.) Use the file client/test/bitwhirl_viewer.html to connect to the server with your local SWF file
3.) If network connection doesn't work, you need to change your Flash settings and add security exceptions for the file bitwhirl_client.swf and www.bitwhirl.com.
    (Global settings -> Advanced -> Developer tools) 
    Works in Windows, Linux was being stubborn.
