When someone is flat footed and you have several attacks, does all of them get to do sneak attack damage?

EX-
My character is a level 8 Rogue. i Have 2 attacks now. the other person is flat footed. I attack, and does each of my attacks gain the extra sneak damage, or does only my first attack?

3.5 = yes
4.0 = no

Elaborating on Sally's answer for 3.5...

Whenever your rogue makes an attack, you determine at that moment whether the attack qualifies for sneak attack. For example, if you use the feint action in round one, your target is denied Dex on your first attack the next round, but not the second.

There's a few other ways to arrange for your target to qualify for sneak attack damage on one attack but not another during your round.

Directly answering your question: if your target is flat-footed for your entire round and does not possess the uncanny dodge ability then Sally's answer is absolutely correct.
