flash (macromedia): How can this be avoided when a team is working on the files? A large website,
many fla files and many are opened/changed then saved... Files are usually
created on one computer then downloaded to another for some work (through local
network) and sent back and forth this way... until now we have been saving in a
new folder each time, but there are well over 30 files in some sites... anyway
to avoid this?

all computers are Mac... an iMac G5, a powerbook and a PowerMac G5 all with
10.4.7 or 10.4.6 with Flash Pro 8

I'm a PC guy, Permissions in Windows Active Directory causes similar problems,
maybe your network has something similar. Running crossways with a source
control system could do that too. Dreamweaver has source control built in - is
anyone in your group trying to run that? And SWFs included in a web build are
getting entangled?

Anyway, source control for your work group is a good idea. Files are kept in
one place on a server, a developer 'checks the file out' to work on it, returns
it to the same place when done. Everyone knows where to go, only one person at
a time can work on a file, older versions are kept transparently in a
'history', backups of the entire project are easy to set up.
