FLA files are the project files used in creating Macromedia/Adobe Flash animations, originally called FutureSplash[1], which are compiled into SWF files for publication and use. The FLA project file contains the objects and images (raster or vector) used in the animation, ActionScript program code, and other elements used in building the project. Now used as the Adobe Animate file format.
