basedir definition is missing

[SInCE]

Hi,

I tried to build a custom flowplayer, but it failed because of an undefined ${basedir}.

It would be great if you can fix this :) I appreciated!

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ant-contrib/files/ant-contrib/ant-contrib-0.6/ ant contrib is required and it seems the new build files cant customise its location. this needs to be placed into the ant lib directory whereever this may be.

I had the same issue.
I had installed ant-contrib from openSuse repositories (no idea if there's anything like that for OS X):
But still the error occured.

I was able to fix it by adding the 'classpath' attribute in flash-build/js.xml:

original:
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>

modified:
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" classpath="/usr/share/java/ant-contrib.jar"/>

This allowed be to finally do a complete and successful build of Flowplayer Flash 3.2.17.

I wish you good results! :)
