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! :stare:
