And if you're going to be working on a collection of different
external .as files, it's always a good idea to look at using a
versioning system such as Subversion/SVN -
http://subversion.tigris.org

Versioning systems aren't a great deal of help with binary files such
as .flas, but are a great help with text files such as .as files, .xml
files and anything else you have lying about.

Subdividing your .fla file into a number of smaller files as Zeh
suggests, and making your classes external then stuffing the whole
thing in Subversion is about the best solution that you can get. It's
not ideal - multiple people working on .flas never is.

An alternative strategy is to use MTASC and Swfmill to generate all
your .swfs from text-based sources files (.as files and .xml files)
and not to have any top-level .fla files at all (although you'd
probably need .flas for some graphical assets). That, combined with
Subversion, can be a lot easier to control.

Sharing binary source files between people is always a pain - sorry!

Cheers,
 Ian

Not forgetting external script files too, of course.
