Simple solution:
Don’t let the designers even touch Flash. Let them design their little hearts out in Illustrator and Photoshop and leave anything to do with Flash alone. Yes, it takes a bit more time to prepare the assets and bring them into Flash, but it saves many headaches in the long run. (Also, don’t use Flex just for its code hinting. Use Flex for Flex projects. If you just want something nice for doing AS, use FlashDevelop)

I submitted a feature request to Adobe. A better approach, in my opinion, would be for the Automatically Declare Stage Instances setting to completely go away. Flash should be able to determine if I've declared a stage instance or not. If I have, then it doesn't need to do anything. If I haven't, then it should declare the instance. I encourage everyone to make sure Adobe knows we'd like a better approach to stage instances.
