manojT: I'm positive Visual Studio doesn't read the SWF (or FLA) and read dependencies. I normally keep all dependant files in the same directory as the master FLA.

As for getting dependencies using .NET code, I believe that won't be very easy either. You'd have to (1) understand how FLA files are structured, and (2) the only way of talking to a SWF in WinForms is using the Flash Active X control, and that'll surely get you nowhere. Sad

Another way of checking for dependant files is to create a Flash Project file (.FLP file), then adding all the dependant files inside of the FLP. That way, if one is deleted or moved, Flash will notify you.
