    here the client has no IP on the fla or other such files. They own the output files which are the swf files, and any jpg, gif or png from your psd files. Your design process [layers in psd, code and format in fla is your own Interlectual Property]. in a court of law you own the tools and they own the finished product. The cost of taking you to court to get the files against hiring another designer to decompile your swf's etc isn't worth them even bothering with the courts....although they may threaten you!!

    ....sounds like your heading for disaster when the client "is just getting into flash"

    ....are you supporting him when he gets all messed up and needs someone to look over his code?
