Andrew,

I am using the destination as a variable and the code for the same can be downloaded from http://www.hemtalreja.com

Hope this helps.

I have been trying to adapt this so that the ‘destination’ attribute of the RemoteObject is a variable (so i can define vars for the destination and endpoint URI), but Flex doesn’t seem to like it. Do you know how you can programmatically set the destination name ?

You could probably do it using ANT

True, however I am hoping I could have an external settings.xml file which will set the values at run time, not at compile time. When I put a binding expression in the destination attribute (i.e. destination="{somevar}") the compiler doesn’t complain, but at runtime I always get an error.

I’m pretty sure the compiler needs to know that at runtime, hence the reasoning behind needing access to the services-config.xml or other data about the remote connection when you compile.

Cool. Does this work with both Flex 2/Flex 3 apps?

@William – Yes, it does.

Hey Kyle, the color of the string in the first line of code is impossible to read.

Interesting, it must have to do with the auto-recognization of links.
