how to edit .fla file

I got some free web flash templates, which include.flash.fla and swf files. The animations include default company names and other text items.

I haven't found any alternates in the freeware and shareware listings. Can anyone here recommend any software who might do the changes?

.fla files can be edited in Flash.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious.

i dont think thats stating the obvious... it seems to be exactly what he is asking, and if not he has phrased the question in such a way as to imply that he wants that answer

if you need to know something else, please be more specific or ask the question a different way, if not... flash edits .fla files as stated above, you can get a free trial from the adobe website or you can buy the full version (NOT CHEAP)

Flash is the ONLY program to edit an .fla... period.. its a closed format.

however many programs OUTPUT to .swf (but not the same things a the original post is asking)..

so (as stated) you can ONLY use Flash to edit a .fla..
