why can't you open the fla?  what error message do you see?

its crashed i think my specs cant handle the large fla file because i can open the file in a computer/laptop with a higher specs.

ohhh i know why the file size became big.. its the mp3 file i put on the library.. but my mp3 file is only 4mb.. why my FLA became 50MB file size?

i couldn't say, but you can expect your fla to usually increase in size by twice the size of the mp3.  the published swf (if you're publishing a swf) will usually increase by the size of the mp3 (or less depending on your mp3 compression settings)
