The FLA format is binary and completely undocumented by Adobe so
nothing except the Flash authoring tools read it.
Yesterday (looking for a way to liberate the source code for the movie
"Sita Sings the Blues") I found someone started reverse engineering
the fla file format, but no there are no free tools to read it AFAICT:
http://wiki.benjaminwolsey.de/FLA_Format
I also noted that more recent Flash authoring tools use an XML-based
format that would presumably be slightly less opaque.
Please get your upstream to split the fla file into its component
parts and use mtasc/swfmill/swftools/haxe to create the swf file
instead of the Flash authoring tools.
