This really isn’t that difficult to do, but the docs regarding it are a little hard to find. I thought I’d post the link and then some links to other useful blog entries that have info to add on this topic.

Doc link: http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/blazeds_devguide/help.html?content=runtimeconfig_5.html#194376

One of Adobe’s platform evangelists has posted a blog entry that may be more clear:

There is also a “Flex cookbook” entry that may be of some use:
