Flex BlazeDS dynamic configuration

Question

i'm here with a new question - this time more general; hope most of you have experienced this.

So than I configured my flex mobile project so that it requires to update server URL adresses each time server ip or port is changed:

But in my case my flex mobile project will run in different hospitals that so it will need more updates each time server address is changed - and also in cases when hospital servers is restricted to outside its just impossible do that from my remote computer. As I need to update remote object classes as well:

So, the above method seems not very suitable for my case. How can I configure my project so that I could change server url by changing the one on runtime using textareas etc. to set that as below:

Briefly speaking I'm talking about externalizing the configuration for AMF channel endpoint url.

Any help will be greatly appreciated !...

You can just build the messaging consumer yourself and specify the correct channel:

function initConsumer():void { 
  var channelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
  // for streaming
  var myChannel:Channel = new StreamingAMFChannel("streaming-channel", "http://something.com/messagebroker/");
  // for polling
  var myChannel:Channel = new AMFChannel("polling-channel", "http://something.com/messagebroker/");
  myChannel.pollingEnabled = true;

  channelSet.addChannel(myChannel);

  var consumer:Consumer = new Consumer();
  consumer.channelSet = channelSet;
  consumer.destination = "NASDAQ"; 
  consumer.selector = "operation IN ('Bid','Ask')";
  consumer.addEventListener(MessageEvent.MESSAGE, messageHandler); 
  consumer.subscribe(); 
} 

function messageHandler(event:MessageEvent):void { 
  var msg:IMessage = event.message; 
  var info:Object = msg.body; 
  trace("-App recieved message: " + msg.toString()); 
}
