Need help with 'Output Folder URL'

Question

How can I compile my application and have it get posted on a
server?
When I create a project, in the “Flex Build Path”
I add my server URL in the 'Output Folder URL' field. But when I
Run my project, it doesn't even seem to attempt to push any files
to the server. It just brings up my browser with the path to it,
which it obviously gets a 404 error. And its going to need a
username and password to post files to a server. Where would I
assign theses value to Flex Builder?

Answer 1

After I installed Apache Ant and tinkered with it for about 5
hours, I have what initially wanted. The code below will compile,
copy and launch. I also made a splash logo that appears when its
building. Ant is a nice utility for automated development.
