The OAuth stuff is a bit cumbersome. The access key+secret are stored
in a flash cookie and are global per-.swf, so switching between
servers (api06 vs live) or consumer keys causes lots of hassle.

Short term fix - clear your flash cookies at
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

Long term fix - p2 will store credentials
per-api-server-plus-consumer-key instead of globally.
