I pass the url to the data service in via flashvars as Scott suggests. I find this very useful for debugging, since I can debug my app under FlexBuilder, running against the QA deployment of my dot.net data services, but, if I need to debug the data service, I just change the variable value in the htm wrapper to point to my dot.net development environment.
