RE: FLASH: Opinion poll

[Dunn, Jeff]

I would suggest bringing your friend in on this.  I had a similar situation

with a television commercial I did for a local politician.  I contacted a

producer friend who works with her a lot.  When he asked her about it, she

immediately paid me out of fear for her reputation among technical

professionals whom she relies upon.

Opinion poll, here.


A while back I did a Flash opener page for a friend/client (FSH) for a

future website she plans on opening.

The rest of her website was going to be developed by another client of mine

(LN) who has just opened a website touting healthy living ideals and

products. For these people I have been developing icons to represent

different kinds of news stories they'll be featuring on their site.

I have been paid by the FSH gal for the Flash work I did.

I invoiced LN about a month ago now, and have yet to see a check.

I did get a request last week from one of their people for a W-9, so I

thought this might mean a check was coming, but alas, not yet.

Also last week I got a call from the gal I'm working with at LN about the

Flash opener I did for the FSH gal, since I guess that project is looking to

get underway.

But since I have not (yet) been paid by the LN people, I'm considering - let

me just come right out and say it - holding the source .FLA file for the FSH

opener hostage in an attempt to get the FSH gal (who is a friend of the

people over at LN) to "influence" some movement on the part of the LN people

and their check-signers.


This doesn't sound like a nice thing to do, and I certainly have a lot of

problems with doing such a thing to a friend of mine, but I also have a lot

of problems with not getting paid for my work, not to mention some laxness

on the part of their people about getting back to me.


There you have it, in as much of a nutshell as I can give you.


What would you do?
