Re: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)

[Jason Y. Kwong]

For our production environment, our SWFs are served from the same machine that our ColdFusion server resides on, so using {server.name} or {context.root} works fine when configuring destinations.  During development, I compile and test SWFs locally.  I don't run ColdFusion locally--we have a separate development server.  So in this case, using {
server.name} or {context.root} doesn't work.  I have to change the flex-services.xml file and put in the development server's IP address.  It's just awkward to have to manually do this.
What I miss is the convenience of "build profiles" as seen in some other IDEs.  I can have one for development and one for production, each having different compiler options (eg. so I can specify different flex-services.xml
 files).  At least that's one way to do it.  Can I do something like this with the current Flex Builder?  I haven't found a way.On 3/15/06, Peter Farland

Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
This came up cause I was configuring my Flex 2 app to communicate 
with ColdFusion, but I suppose it applies to RemoteObject in general.  In 
order to tell your app the location of a web service destination, we're told to 
add something like this to the compiler command line: --services=C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml Now, 
my first question is, since the file flex-enterprise-services.xml resides on the 
server (be it ColdFusion or FES) and you typically don't do your client 
development on the same machine as the production server, how would this work in 
the general case? Anyway, so then I decided to copy the file to my 
development machine and then manually changed "localhost" to the server's IP 
address in the channel configuration.  I compiled my app and it worked 
fine.  But now it appears that the server's address is compiled directly 
into the swf.  Are we unable to dynamically assign server addresses at 
runtime?
