In order to access HTTPS data (requests) from HTTP pages (or Flash movies i.e. swfs ) set the cross domain policy as such.

<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

The domain in the example is specified as * but you can restrict the domain as needed.

One of the most frustrating things that we faced while adding multiple cached services to the Map component is that we found that sometimes we were not able to see the larger scales of map services even though we knew that they existed. And after much experimentation by one of my co-worker we discovered that the Navigation Slider picks up the scales from the first service that is added to the map. So if you add the service with the largest scales first you will be able to get the correct scales on the Navigation Slider . In fact its not just the navigation slider but the whole map refuses to go the larger scales with a service with a lowest lower scale is added first.
Hope this is helpful to someone else!
