Wondering if someone familiar with subversion can point me in the right direction? I have a Flash file that I need to export or check out one of the older versions of. I can get the newest - just not sure how to access the older versions.

I use Mercurial HG rather than SVN, much better solution in terms versioning, but I have to say that SVN have better client tools for Mac.
For Win, you can use tortoise - it is added as a windows shell extension. You can also command line.

svnX works pretty good. If you know the shell/console/terminal route it's almost always faster though (once u pick it up of course).

FYI...if you're using git instead of SVN github just published a new mac app...

Is subversion something that could easily help any project with a number of frequently changing files? I think I understand what it does but there seems to be a plaine english explanation anywhere...
- bliznutty0
so do you pronounce it SUBversion or subVERsion?

@sublocked's note
So this isn't a good all around incremental backup solution? That's what I want for windows.

I think he's asking how to grab a revision from a previous version.
What you'll want to do is either export the single file, from the particular revision, or revert your working version to a particular revision.

You can check out old branches by revision number... I used trac at my previous company so only know how to search revision numbers there.
svn co -rxxxxx filepath Sites/
xxxxx = revision number
filepath = obviously your main asset repository
Sites/ = where ever you keep your branches locally
FYI, be careful with merge conflicts checking out old revisions. I generally checkout old branches, copy needed code and pasted into main project branch. Probably a better method but worked for me...
