Looking for Macintosh-compatible source code control system for Actionscript (3)

[zerobars]

I'm working on a team of 2-3 developers doing small to medium-scale Actionscript development projects. Last week, in the middle of a rush project, we got into a bit of a mess because we were all coding furiously, separately, and then uploading to a central server.

No harm done in the end, but it got us to thinking that we really need some kind of good, easy-to-use source code control system. I don't know much about them -- but something that keeps track of check-in, check-out, keeps track of versions (with differences), etc would be great. We all run Macs, so it would need to work with that (although we could perhaps have it running off some PHP server, if such a thing is necessary). Ease of use is important, and although it doesn't have to be free (although that would be nice), price is an object (I'm open to all suggestions, though).

Anything that takes into account the vagaries and assets of Flash/AS development (FLA files, etc) would be an added plus.

Thanks

SVN seems to do the job most of the time for me.
It won't show you differences in .fla files because a .fla is a binary file. Things seem to be moving away from the .fla format for future releases of Flash though, so you will probably be able to benefit from this functionality in the next release of Flash.

I use svn with the SCPlugin for finder http://scplugin.tigris.org/

.fla files are binary so no source control system is really going to work well with them. SVN is your best bet.
