I'm getting an error when running ant main,
[mxmlc] /ApacheFlex/source/flex-sdk/frameworks/flex-config.xml(28):
Error: configuration variable 'swf-version' value contains unknown token
'playerglobal.swfversion'
[mxmlc]
It seems the settings in the flex-config are not getting values set,
specifically the playerglobal.swfversion. When I set the value manually the
changes are overwritten.
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->
<swf-version>${playerglobal.swfversion}</swf-version>
