Advanced Flash Tactics or AFTs are techniques that come from deep within the Flash Art Of War, the oldest Flash military treatise in the world. In this AFT I will go over 5 Tips For Version Controlled Site Deployments. After relaunching my own blog I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the techniques I have used on larger sites and how they can be applied to smaller ones. Blogs and small sites are excellent times to practice version controlled deployments. This post will discuss what I have learned and recently implemented.
For any developer moving into Silverlight from Flash, one quickly notices that there is no enter frame event in Silverlight. Each Silverlight control does not inherently have a timeline, but instead can have any number of storyboards. A nice way to create your own enter frame event is by using storyboard looping.
While we wait for the next version of Flex Builder, which will contain a code formatter, I'd like to point out a few practical reasons why orderliness is important. (Psst... want to add your $0.02 to the new version? Adobe...

It is obvious that you should not steal assets or code directly and if you do, you will more than likely get caught and be exposed.
