Hi flashcoders, I am looking for an easy way to indicate an SWF's version on the stage (i.e. via a textfield). I guess the easiest way would be if there was a compiler literal like __DATE__ (indicating the time/date of compilation) available within ActionScript. But I couldn't find any such

We haven't found an easy way to do it - we've done it two ways: i) Use Ant to update a textfile as part of the build process, and read that textfile in at runtime. A good way to get a version number / date for an entire _deployment_, rather than just for one .swf. or ii) Use Ant to update a
