Hi Kevin,

The project setup in Flash MX 2004 and its VSS integration leave much to
be
desired.  I personally would suggest that you look into using Eclipse
with
the VSS plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/ ) for that to
manage your Flash projects.  You will need one of the ActionScript
editor
plugins for Eclipse as well.  Check out either FDT (
http://www.powerflasher.com/fdt ) or the open source ASDT
(http://asdt.org/).

While setting these tools up may take a bit of time to figure out, in
the
end there are tremendous advantages to doing so.  You get a better code
editor than what comes with the Flash IDE, you are able to integrate
with
versioning systems like CVS, SVN, and VSS, you can get other plugins for
other code editing like Java, PHP, etc..., integrating with a  much
faster
compiler (MTASC) is relatively straight forward, and much more.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion.  I hope it helps.

-Chris
