Configure flex application with parameters give you similiar advantages as localization system. We can change some variables directly within a external file without recompiling the application.
Normally we can recreate this system loading an XML file at startup, but that requires a preload, a parser proccess and an final assignment with some complexity.

Other option is to use Resources.

Configure the application

1. Create a externa configuration folder outside source folder (src).
2. Add files with extesion .properties with its pair key/value for each property we need to be available in the application (all number we want).
3. Add resource folder as a new source of the project: Project Name -> Properties -> Project Build Path -> Add Source Folders.

Apply the properties

1. Add resource label on top of the class to provide it so the application can load each configuration file .properties as a resoruce.

   [ResourceBundle("ApplicationSettings")]

2. Retrieve property value.

   var myProperty:String = ResourceManager.getInstance().getString('ApplicationSettings','myProperty');

• Use a BBDD manager like Lita para administrar los datos cómodamente.
• Salt in the encryption increase security but link password to the machine. Library as3corelib generate password with salt stored in the Encrypted Local Store
  (ELS - C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\AIR\ELS) for each application. Using this salt there is a random value part of the password to increase security. Use Base64 to make password transportable.
• Use as3corelib and salt doesn’t allow copy (attach) a BBDD with as3corelib password. Better change-operate-restore password.
• Use métodoconnection.attach to open each databases and copy each other. If there are problems of integrity “malformed database” can be corrected using a non-admin Lita . (Use SharpPlus SQLite Developer to delete problems with triggers)
• Runtime errors
• If you are using as3corelib be careful because the same string generates different keys in different applications.
