What is FLA file?
The FLA .FLA file extension identifies a compiled document created using the Adobe Flash software suite. Compiled documents created using the Flash software have a .FLA suffix and generally contain vector graphics, raster graphics, and ActionScript code. When saved, the Flash document contains multiple different components, such as information on the timeline along with stored symbols, buttons, sounds, video files as well as SWF file data.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from FLA to SWF?
To successfully convert the FLA file to SWF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FLA). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case SWF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than SWF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FLA to SWF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FLA files to SWF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension SWF, while before this step we had the FLA file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SWF file, or not.
