It seems like initializing mx.messaging.config.LoaderConfig.url would have essentially the same drawback as setting the endpoint in ActionScript - it would create a situation where I would need to maintain the URL in ActionScript. Or am I misunderstanding you?
In any case, I think it's OK to use Canvas as the base class, because it doesn't seem to add excessive weight to the app. But I am very much open to better ideas!
