Does anyone write flash apps as part of a team? It seems that the "source" is a big binary mess of an FLA file. This means that you cannot merge changes made by different developers, basically limiting each file to only one developer at a time.
There also appears to be no command-line compiler, so you cannot have your auto build system compile the flash, or your deployment script. Instead the developer has to commit the SWF file as well as the source. Something that you really shouldn't be doing.
Flex is a lot better in both regards. There's a command-line compiler, and you write .as files like a real language.
Am I missing something? Is there a command-line compiler?
