[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Is there not a way to view the version history of a file within the project panel of the Flash IDE itself instead of having to open up the VSS to see the version history?[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Also what do you guys think is the best way to keep track of the changes in a “.fla” file. Keeping track of changes in “.as” file is not a problem as one can always do a “diff” of two versions. However the problem is with the flas, the only way my team have been able to track the changes in a “.fla” file is through comments while checking in, but some tend to be lazy in giving proper and meaningful comments, which can be a real frustration at times when working with a big project. :{ [/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Just wondering what techniques other fellow kirupians follow to keep track of the changes in a fla file…[/font]
