Been bugging me for ages how to get a last modified date for Flash like you can with html/javascript. This is a workaround, but I’ve discovered that by putting a copy of the mc into any movie that is a part of your project and pointing the file variable to the same text file, you can update a single last mod date for the whole project any time you modify any file involved.
Simply drop the mc in the example file into your movie, set the file var to point to a local text file like so:
lm.file = “./lastModDate.txt”
and whenever you modify the movie you will get the date traced into the output window. Use the Options menu to save that to the text file and Flash will read it in and put the new date into the text field.
