FLA Policy?

Hey All…

This may be a stupid question but…

Is it common practice to give your clients the finished FLA with your projects?

I do not do much flash work so I am unsure of the legitimacy of the clients request and proper etiquette of handing over files.

From the designers stand point I like the protection of keeping the Fla so it will not be farmed out (ie: intellectual property stuff /although i probably couldn’t do anything without my hours of searching the Kirupa forum ; )…

On the other hand I do not want to be a **** to a paying client and think it is fair for the client to have this as it is a free market society and all… though i would hate to lose one…

hmmmmm?

Whats your thoughts / experience on the matter?

Much Thanks all!
