I expected someone else to have chimed in with a full-fledged code example by now. Since nobody did, I will offer my point in a direction I have used before, without any actual code.
The last time I did this it was with a big PHP project, with multiple files. The way that I did it was keep a variable in the main file (the Flex equivilent would be your main mxml file). There is a way, at least with subversion and cvs, to change at checkin time, a variable to the version number. Something like: private var versionNumber: String = '$Version$'; It has been a while, so that is going ot need to be looked up and corrected, probably. At initialization, look at Application.application.maxVersion, check against your own version number and if you're larger, replace Application.application.maxVersion with your own version string. After everything is initialized, the version number at Application.application.maxVersion is the last checkin number of a file that "mattered." You can also keep a hash around as well, with a key that identifies the particular file and at runtime print a list of the versions of each file. Yes, I would like an easier way, but this requires no explicit support from the language and should work virtually anywhere where you can extract a raw version number from the string that subversion/cvs gives you.
