I was working with a slightly older version where the Flash Player version
check in playerglobal-setswfversion target in /ApacheFlex/source/flex-sdk/
frameworks/build.xml didn't have a listing for FP 12.0. It was only up to
11.8. The latest source in git has this check and one for FP 13. I
backported it for the project I'm working on and it built successfully.
