obtain API version?

PaulHastings1 — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 02:44:39 GMT

arcGIS server has "info" where you can obtain the server version number. is there something equivalent for the flex API? nothing jumps off the page at me.

thanks.

Paul,

If it hasn't been disabled you can right click on the map face and select About ArcGIS API for Flex... From the context menu. This will provide an info window with the API number and build date.

Anthony

i suppose i should have been more specific, i'd like to obtain the version programmatically.

i suppose its in there someplace if you can get it via context menu. wonder why its not exposed?

thanks.

Paul,

I think all the right click menu is doing is calling an alert box, not sure if you can do want you want to.

I don't think anyone has asked for it...

<raises hand> is asking here enough? is there a place to record ER, bugs etc. against the API?

Sometimes forum posts can be enough, but the best way for bugs and enhancement requests is usually to contact Esri Support (http://support.esri.com/), or for new ideas/enhancements, you could use http://ideas.arcgis.com.

You can access the localized string that contains the API version using:

resourceManager.getString('ESRIMessages', 'mapAboutText')
