    Give it up.

    Unless you made some new thing no one has ever seen, something you can use and continue to make a profit from like a new software program, there's a good chance that someone else or many people have made it already. We're talking about Actionscript again right?

    Unless you don't want work from this particular client again, I'd just give up the source files and even offer help too.

    Next time I'd state additional fees for the source in some sort of contract and make sure the client knows about the disclosure.

    Me, personally, I always give up the files. I don't even ask if they want them, I just include them in the final package.
