For what you are trying to do it is best to not use the Flex SDK for Gaming Projects. I would keep the projects in pure ActionScript and build your own Framework or Game Engine that your Designers would import into their Flash Professional applications. Then they would apply the framework code to individual graphics and animations. Then utilize those the swf assets into the Main Game code in a pure Actionscript project in Flash Builder. That is they way I have worked with large teams in the past and we have had no problems adding Child objects or manipulating the timeline animations, or video content.
