SVN and Flex Builder

Till recently I was using TortoiseSVN to do version control of my projects. I decided then I wanted to integrate SVN into Flex Builder and do all the svn commands from there directly. In the end it hasn't hard at all, I just followed the instructions from Ben Bishop's post.

Something me and others noticed here is that, since Flex Builder copies all the project root files and folders into "/bin", including the .svn directories, adding the "bin" directory to the repository will cause later problems.

A lot of people have posts about this and so nothing really new here but I wanted to write down what worked (and is working) for me.

    This came up as another problem the other day, the worst part for me is having to manually copy the swf into another area of the source control to check it in.

    Rob: Why do you check in the swf anyway? By pulling out the source code of an older version you can always do a build of the older swf again.

    Another option that we are considering is to have server-side nightly builds of the swf.
