I handle this by passing deployment-specific information into the Flex app via flashvars in the html wrapper.

Up til now, I have been running a server using localhost for my app. But I need to get the generic path and run from there. I tried using @ContectRoot but it did not give me the server path, just the context. Here is a snippet from the code. I know the proj/loader part will stay the same, but I will need to derive the first part from wherever it is running. What do I set the path to to do this? // on the deployment I need to replace localhost with server name, port, and context root public var dbURL:String = "http://localhost:8888/proj/loader <http://localhost:8888/proj/loader> "; <mx:HTTPService id="sysOps" useProxy="false" method="GET" fault="handleFault(event);" url="{dbURL}"/>
