Thanks for your feedback guys. When building applications, I totally agree - one artifact per source tree, but Flash is a magical technology, and a SWF can contain years of development and best-practice architecture, or a SWF may only be a simple asset bucket with a few animations and couple lines of ActionScript.
For me, I have both - an application with a highly structured architecture following best practice - but this application needs to load in >50 smaller SWFs (not all at once, it depends on user interactions). These smaller SWF's are just asset buckets and might have a few lines of code in them too - they are not applications, merely a convenient asset management and scripting tool, so I was hoping I could set aside 'best practice' for this use of SWF files, and have a convenient way to batch compile them all, rather than creating 1 POM per asset bucket.
