I have to disagree with your disagreeing ....

There is a big difference between the FLA and the SWF .....the FLA can be edited
and changed, manipulated again ...and the SWF cannot .....so it does make a
difference who owns the FLA

I have to disagree. You can't compare a software application or a game with
a document file. They are totally different things. You buy a application to
complete a certain need. You don't expect to own the source code and the
licence states this before you run the app. With a .fla file, especially if
it is commissioned, the client owns all rights to all content. The time paid
for to develop the file is the clients time. In real terms, what is the
difference between a .fla and .swf? Nothing. After years of experience
working with large corporates, I'd like to see anyone try to deny ownership
for development paid for. This is different from coded files like Java.
