Do you mean the date the swf was compiled? Not sure if there is an easier way, but here is a high level of what we do. We do all our builds with ANT, and we use some custom ANT tasks that creates an .as file with build info. Then our main application mxml includes that and we can display that build info in an about dialog.
Our custom task does a few things, it fetches build id's from subversion, which is what we use for source control. It also gets the user name of the user doing the build, the date of the build and the date the subversion repository was modified for the build id we are building with. I'd be interested to know if there is a way to get more build info from within flex itself. But our system works well. We also use a similar process for our web services which we can fetch in our application and display along with our other build info. The main purpose being for QA defect tracking.
