And I never had much luck with ANT scripts for Flex from Eclipse either.
funny that. i compile fine in eclipse using ant (pc and mac)... and on my servers (suse, redhat) using compc and mxmlc and have for flex 1.5, 2, 2.1and so does everyone i work with and have worked with. you prob have the FB standalone installed (which i would not recomend to anyone), in which case this is a known issue.

yes it does, use ant, cruisecontrol gives you a variable stating the build number you can use in the ant script, inject it into a file (mxml, as or even an external txt file) ant is really powerful...
build, numbered and visible for everyone involved in the project. Where does the build number appear in the application ?
whereever you want to add it, but otherwise you see the build numbers in the cruisecontrol page as well as it being everywhere in specific build pages i think we are digressing and thus this is the end of the thread for me, but i advise you to maybe spend a bit more time looking into ant and reading a bit about XP development and associated practices. i think that what you missed here that i am trying to get across is the concept of best practise. there are many ways to skin the cat, but someways yield more skin and meat than others --
