I’m hoping someone has a few minutes to see if they can open this source .fla file. I can’t, but I need to!

I have an .fla which was developed by someone else in Flash MX Professional 2004. However, when I try to open it on my system (same version of Flash) I get the error message “Unexpected File Format”. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The .fla and .swf files are located here:
