Does anyone know if it's possible to get a word count from an fla? I imagine someone may have written a JSFL for analysing the MCs in the library? I'd be really grateful for any ideas... thanks.

yes, it's possible and yes a jsfl file would be the correct tool.

you would setup nested loops starting with the main timeline and looping through all the layers, all the frames looking for actionscript and instances.  any instances that were text objects could have their words counted.  any instances that were movieclips would be sent through the loops again.
