Hi there,

Flash compresses the files, so you won’t get the same filesizes coming in as going out.

As for a transparent background, you have to create a background which will reside behind the loaded clip. Then you make that background transparent and load the clip on top of it.

Not sure why you want to do this though, because all empty space in a .fla is not published with the .swf. All empty space will already be completely transparent.

i wanted to load a fla but wanted to make it transparent so that when the background changes it will remain transparent and not just white or anyother colour.

```
When the background of the main fla changes . The loadedmovie fla would have a background colour. &lt;- hope you know what i mean
```

Have you tried it with a white background? I may be wrong here, but the background is not for the .fla, it’s for the “stage” (i.e. the Stage object). All empty space is ignored when you publish, it’s not “filled up” by the background color. The .swf – which has no background color – is then placed on a “stage”, which does have a background color. Try publishing a shockwave with a white background and loading the .swf into another and see what happens. Let me know.
