I simplify my resource usages by having an AssetManager class that takes care of all my embeds.

package {
public final class AssetManager {
[Embed (source="/assets/myicon.png" )]
public static const ICON_MYICON:Class;
}
}

Then just use it the same as normal, but with the asset manager class in front of it :

var icon:Bitmap = new AssetManager.ICON_MYICON();
addChild( icon );

You can use an absolute path (which is actually relative to the project directory) by starting your reference with a forward slash, like this:

/assets/MediaIcons.swf
