[osflash] Build number with Ant

[Jim Kremens]

Hi,
 Putting <buildnumber/> and <tstamp/> into an Ant build file makes them
accessible to other tasks:
  <buildnumber />
<tstamp><format property="timestamp" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
/></tstamp>
 You could then, for example, write the build number and timestamp into an
html file:
  <concat destfile="buildinfo.html">
<![CDATA[<b>Title Text<br> DATE: ${timestamp} <br>BUILD: ${build.number}
<br>AUTHOR: <a href="mailto:yourName at gmail.com">Your
Name<yourName at gmail.com">Your Name>
</a></b>]]>
</concat>
 Which Flash could read. A simple text file would be simpler, but I had this
example handy...
 You could even use Ant to write a FlashVar with the build number into the
html page that contains your swf... Then your swf would have direct access
to it. For that I'd look into the Ant replaceregexp task. Something like:
  <replaceregexp file="myHtmlpage.html" match="FlashVars="
replace="FlashVars='buildNumber=${build.number}'"/>
