There are three directories in play here:

1) Project Root
2) Source Root
3) Bin Directory

  In the default project setup, the source root is the same as the 
project root, and the bin directory is a subdirectory of that.  I hate 
this setup.

  I recommend:

a) Keep project root the 'same' whatever.
b) Change the bin directory (usually to a web accessible directory).
c) Change the source directory to one that is not a sub of the project 
root.  After creating the project, create a linked directory named 'src' 
that points to some other location.  Then open project properties and 
change the main source folder.

  I only keep the source directory under version control, which means 
there are no compiled swfs or flex builder properties involved.

  I'll be talking a bit about this during my presentation at 360Flex.
