If you use Flash, and want to share your work, you can now easily add a view source menu item to allow downloading the source code.

Usage :

Place the viewFlashSource.as file in the same directory as your Flash source file (FLA), and add the following line to the main timeline of your source file:

#include viewFlashSource.as

You can then specify the source URL through the flashParams HTML tag / attribute.

There are two values you can specify:

flashSource : Points to a URL to download the source for the contnet.
contentLicense : Points to the distribution / re-use license for the content.

<embed src="example.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="example" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashVars="flashSource=example%2Efla&contentLicense=http%3A%2F%2Fcreativecommons%2Eorg%2Flicenses%2Fby%2F2%2E0%2F" />
