File extension spa was associated with FutureSplash movie files.

FutureSplash Animator was a software product for creating vector-based animations, the predecessor of Flash. It was developed by FutureWave Software. Macromedia Flash later (2005) became Adobe Flash.

The technology was used on several big-name websites such as Microsoft's MSN, Fox's official The Simpsons website and Disney's Disney Daily Blast. In December of 1996 Macromedia bought FutureWave, and FutureSplash Animator became Macromedia Flash 1.0.

SPA files are typically used for animations, interactive content, and other types of multimedia content on the web. However, Adobe announced the end of life for Flash in 2020, and most modern web browsers no longer support Flash content. Therefore, SPA files and other Flash content are becoming less common.
 

This spa file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.
