I work with a team of 3 developers and 4 designers. The developers all use the FDT Eclipse plugin version, and we use Subclipse to manage our Subversion repos.
We never commit our project files (mainly to stop noobs from accidentally changing project settings unintentionally) and all our compilation and deployment is done from ANT scripts. The designers usually install Tortoise SVN client and (usually after a few mistakes) are competent enough to leave on their own.

I'm going to assume that you are all still alive and that not everyone has quit coding with actionscript and started using HTML5 for your website banner builds just yet... Anyway, I have a question about FDT and version control: What are people doing regarding working with teams of developers and using SVN in FDT? The new version of FDT has now removed its out of the box for subversive, which, although it has (many many) faults, is pretty much the best of a bad bunch when it comes to IDE integrated SVN. Anyway, I was wondering whether people have any thoughts on the (related) issue of working in teams and controlling your projects. Do you ignore the project files completely and let each developer do what he or she likes with them? Do you agree on a standard configuration? Or do you add your project files to svn and check out an FDT project via the "import... project from SVN" route? This third approach is what I usually do, and it's great for teams of developers about 99% of the time. However, that 1% of times when you have a version control problem, it's REALLY a problem. Your entire team grinds to a halt, you can't commit, everything goes basically pear shaped. Anyway, I was wondering is anyone has come up with a better solution than just using a seperate SVN client and manually managing all their files. Subversive has some very useful features and it's really nice once you get used to it. And I'm used to it. I guess I'm just set in my ways.
