Hi Michal, almost certainly, the person who created the fla was using the Flash 8 IDE. Unfortunately, Macromedia introduced slightly different fla formats with each version of Flash, which can't be opened with older versions of the IDE. What you can do, though, is to download the trial version of Flash 8, open the file in that, and save it as a Flash MX 2004 fla. To do so, you select "File/Save As ..." and select "Flash MX 2004 document" in the "save as type" pulldown. Note, though, that the fla's authoer might actually have used some Flash 8 features. Those would get lost when saving as an older version.
