Flex 4 Run/Debug Path - How to use Macro/Variable there?

Question

Let's say that I want all my programs under a flex project to go to a new url, with the name of the program's html and swf as variables. Now, normally, it's going to hardcode Foo.mxml to a URL of:

file:///local/wherever/project/bin-debug/Foo.html

But I want it to go to:

http://localhost/elsewhere/?a=Foo.html?b=Foo.swf

Now, I can do this in a hardcoded way by editing Foo.mxml to be the above, but then I have to do the same for Bar.mxml and Baz.mxml. I really want to be able to do (something like) this:

http://localhost/elsewhere/?a=${html}&b=${swf}

And have it fill in the result for me. Then either set that as "the default" somehow, or at least make just one run-debug-setting and reuse it as needed. Any thoughts?

Update:

To clarify, the point isn't specifically to pass in "a" and "b" - yes I can use flash variables or other things. The issue is that I want my own "default" setting that takes the name of the project into account, because the default 'file:///' URL is not appropriate.

Also, yes, I'm using Flex Builder 4.

Answer 1

Pass them in as Flash vars.

Answer 2

Are you using Flash Builder? The Command line tools? Or some other IDE?

In Flash Builder, you need to create a 'run' profile for each main application file. I'm not sure how to apply Macros / Variables in that situation. It is a one to one relationship between application and the run profile.

You can use some variables in the HTML template files, though, but off the top of my head I don't i know the complete list of the ones available [and couldn't find a list in Adobe documentation].
