RE: FLASH: who owns the fla?

[Chris Jester]

I would say you lose all right. For example I have worked with some big name

companies doing flash work that I could never show to anyone on this list

because I signed a non disclosure agreement. I would imagine that most

companies wouldn't mind if you kept a copy for a portfolio though as long as

it doesn't have anything private in it. You may even be able to get a clause

in the agreement that would allow you to use portions as well.

Subject: FLASH: who owns the fla?


If one creates a Flash movie for a client do you give up the rights to

the .fla file as well as the .swf when they pay you?  I have wondered

about this from time to time, but now the question has come up with

one of my sites.  If you give them the fla files you would lose

control over what they did with it.  What do y'all think or do about

this?
