FLASH: Business practices...

[AndrewScratch]

Hi Everyone,


I am (hopefully) soon going live with my first Flash site and was considering 

the implecations should I decide to leave this job afterwards. My current job 

is full time contract work as a web master, and this new Flash site is 

supposed to supplant the one I am now managing. 

I was wondering what a Flash developers common practice was concerning the 

original .FLA files should he/she move to another job? In other words, if I 

should leave my current job, would I be obligated to leave the .FLA files of 

this new site I created to the next web master who takes my place?

I had heard somewhere that it was common practice to retain your .FLA files 

and leave the client with just the end product, but I don't remember the 

rationale behind this. Though it would tick me off if someone else meddled 

with my previous work, it would seem that the client has a right to maintain 

the site and modify it (as they own it) even after I'm gone, without having 

to hire a new Flash developer to recreate the site.

This may be a bit selfish, but I hope I'm wrong about this.

OT - That salary calc is pretty accurate in my case...except it only listed a 

few of my skills. I think they should expand the list to include more vector 

and 3D graphics programs...
