If it ran on Linux, I would have the plugin version :-) fair nuff. there are ways to get ant working still in the standalone version (it involves manually copying plugin folders and jars) but worth the effort. no i don't think CC is worth it only for this, but i do think that it would help anybody in the long run.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Versioning swf files for bug reporting
I suppose your CC build script could run sed over the source or something but that's fairly yuck too. [Pete] Why not just use the AS3 include directive to include a snippet of a line of AS3 code that would declare your public static variable for your version inside the class body and override this file during a build? No sed scripts required.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Versioning swf files for bug reporting
yes, svn does increment revision numbers. he asked for a good practiceregarding building and incrementing build numbers. now from my experience working in large teams i have noticed that centralised builds work better for versioning (due to obvious problems that arrises when each developer increments a build number) and i recomend using something like cruisecontrol (which you use with your svn (for example)) to manage your builds. the great advantage that cruise control gives you is that its build already, free and you can use it to display numbered builds to who ever needs to see the application as you are developing. you seem very cynical of something like cuise control, and i think your reasoning stems from the fact that you have not used it yourself. i would honestly recomend anybody to give it a twirl. my build process -builds my swc's -builds my application -creates my docs (please adobe get the asdoc tool to run under *nix) - versions my builds (using the cruise control version number) - builds my unit tests -run my unit tests -notify developers when something broken is commited i am even adjusting it now to create mx:application wrappers for my swc's using fabridge this i do without having deployed this sollution or my build script to anybody else working in the team. they commit in svn and wham, there is a build, numbered and visible for everyone involved in the project. this is a practise that several people i have spoken too at adobe consulting recomend as well. spend some time to save a lot of time, is that not a core mantra for all developers :-/ my 2 cents. johan On 16 Apr 2007 06:50:32 -0700, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 16 Apr 2007, Johannes Nel wrote: a poroper continues integration system provides a build nuimber for you when you use cruisecontrol for example So does (for instance) SVN.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Versioning swf files for bug reporting
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.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Versioning swf files for bug reporting
a poroper continues integration system provides a build nuimber for you when you use cruisecontrol for example the main problem with just incrementing a file/number for your builds comes to the fore when you have multiple people working on a project. either you have to commit this number via a properties file and force an update each time someone compiles using this script making the process more cumbersome to manage. there are several scenarios which are a pain. anyway, go read up about it. setting up cruisecontrol does not take longer than a few hours and will really save you time in the long run.
