Change the extension of .fla to .rar.
Open it using the WinRAR application.
Winrar throws a warning stating that you attempted to open damaged archive, you can safely Ignore the warning.
Go to Tools->Repair Archive. This ensures that the archive and hence, the FLA is repaired.
Change the extension to .fla.
