Hi Nick, I've ran into a similar problem before...
I'm not sure how where you're accessing the URL variables for authentication, but if you are doing so from within your flex code, then I would recommend always decoding your URL variables when you pick them off. A good little article on how to easily do so can be found at http://deepthoughts.orsomethinglikethat.com under the entry titled, "Flex 2: How to get URL query-string variables within Flex application". This doesn't solve the FlexBuilder problem you are asking about, but it does allow you to set the "Run" address to the encoded URL, and the "Debug" address to the decoded URL - to be encoded by FlexBuilder upon launch. Again, the key is to always ensure that your variables are encoded going into the application... Hope this helps, Luke. --- In [email protected], "Nick Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey guys, > > I have an application I'm working on adding to (I didn't write the bugger > originally) but am having a problem with Flex Builder 2 when I try to debug. > In order for the Flex clientside to authenticate and pull the data, I have > to add a couple variables to the URL string with the session ID that was > created upon login on the server.
