How to I update the retrieve data service url in runtime. I am using the latest version of Flex with Flash builder 4.

Assign an id to the HTTPService:

<mxHTTPService id="service" url="default.php" other="attributes"/>

Now you can access the HTTPService object using its id from a function:

this.service.url = "the_new_url.php";
