Any reason the README and RELEASE_NOTES in dist have been renamed READme.txt

Probably a known issue but just in case it's not. The installer badge is still
showing 4.8 not 4.9 on the installer page. It downloads 1.0.9 not 2.0.2.

Hi,
I just looked, it is pointing to 4.9 and downloads 2.0.2. I think you
should clear your browser cache and try again.
Perhaps change the installer path to include the version number? eg

This approach will not update the existing badges that people have embedded

Hi,
One of the reasons I was looking forward to SDK 4.9 is that it would break

I'm using en because that's the line of code I eventually dug out of the

Hi,
Does this mean that an app that I compile with the default settings for

Look like the -swf-version option was added in FB 4.5 (or rather to the

Hi,
Is there anything I'm missing ?
You're actually compiling with the compiler that come with 4.1 SDK and it
doesn't support that option. Try -target-player option instead that may work
(I've not tried it), otherwise you'll need to to use 4.5.

Hi,
If you don't have the lib directory then perhaps you don't have a full SVN

Also I think that in order to do a ant release you need to do an ordinary ant

directory.
Hope that helps,

Is it not working for FB4?? I have upgrade the SDK.
If you using the 4.5+ SDK it may work in FB4. You may have some luck using the

Is a 1009 always a null ref? I never tried to memorize that, I always read
