Thanks Robert,
I created a virtual directory based on the url I specified in the StreetViewWidget.mxml and it worked.
One more thing I would like to add for those of you out there reading this. Make sure that you keep the default spatial ref number(WKID located on line 40). I changed this to TN state plane and it did not work even though my map is in TN state plane. I changed it back and it works great now.
Robert you posses great GIS muscle.
thanks
