Version number and updating extension

Question

I wonder where to set my application version number, I have tried at the bundle manifest but if setting at extension it is not shown anywhere at the extension manager and I don't know how to get this value for an "About" window.
Therefore I have set the bundle version to match my application number, this way at least the number is visible in the manager.
Also if I try to install an updated version of my extension the extension manager asks me to delete previous version because it conflicts with this one, I expected that the extension manager would ask if updating; am I doing something the wrong way ?

The version number that shows up in Adobe Extension Manager is controlled in the .mxi file.
<macromedia-extension name="com.zaalabs.MyExtension" requires-restart="true" version="1.2.3">
I haven't found a way yet to pull the version number directly from the MXI file at runtime to show in an about window.  To work around this we actually populate the version number in two places using an ANT script.
One in MyExtensionVersion.as which gets compiled in and can be looked up at runtime, and then other in the MXI file.
package
          public class MyExtensionVersion
  // This will be populated from the MyExtensionVersion.as.template
                    public static const VERSION_NUMBER:String = "1.2.3";
Then in our application we can lookup MyExtensionVersion.VERSION_NUMBER
