There are two ways to do this, firstly you could choose the Build  
(custom) command and have it execute your own script. However I'd  
recommend that you use a build-config.xml file which mxmlc reads when  
it beings the compilation process. You should see that it reads  
{flex_sdk_home}/frameworks/flex-config.xml (you can open this file by  
running the Configuration > Open flex-config.xml command) as the  
first step of compilation. By default mxmlc will also search for a  
config file in the same directory as your Main.as or Main.mxml file  
with a -config.xml suffix (so Main-config.xml).

In your case the contents of the file should be:

<flex-config>
	<default-size>
		<width>100</width>
		<height>200</height>
	</default-size>
</flex-config>

Hope this helps.
