Re: FLASH: who owns the fla?

[Papp Atilla]

I agree with the latest statement. Of course it would be good to keep the

control over the .fla file and make the client pay for further developments,

changes. On the other hand if you do give them the .fla or fla's it very

unlikely they will understand how it was constructed.
