business world. You can not share information like that when a 
company is paying you to develop/code that information, unless it is 
specifically called out in any agreements. I suspect that the company 
looking to hire you for this project is also looking to obtain a 
competitive advantage, so....your sharing of information outside of 
the employing company would be counter to their desired end game....

eLearning isn't usually about competitive advantages.  I suspect that 
the whole work for hire thing is because they also _do_ have some 
business critical code that they contract out.  But in general the 
only reason businesses care _how_ eLearning is coded is based on how 
that affects code.

The eLearning community, however, is waiting with bated breath for 
Flex example code that will allow people to get their heads around 
how, for instance, they can present pages of data driven content with 
a coherent navigational structure.  It's been almost a year since 
Authorware's EOD was announced, and people need something else they 
can do to with this type of content.  And if I retain the freedom to 
post generic code that doesn't reveal the specific business practices 
of the client, I'm in a better position to help people move forward.

The ideal would be for Adobe to step forward and provide some example 
code or assist community leaders in doing so, but so far we've gotten 
loads of lip service from various parties but no actual help.  So the 
ownership of the code isn't so much an issue for me personally, but 
more for the eLearning community that would like to use this tool but 
so far has been stymied by lack of a clearly documented path on how 
to do so.
