I’m loading a SWF into my movie – using code below. The only thing is that if I have a SWF that has a colored background, and content above that, on loading the background of the imported SWF comes through as _transparent_ (i.e. the color doesn’t show) and only the objects _in_ the imported SWF show up –

Why would this be? How to fix? (I can add a colored rectangle that takes up whole stage – that works OK, but wonder why actual background doesn’t show)

Thanks!

```auto
public function loadContent(url:String):void {
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
            var loader:Loader = new Loader();

            loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Progress Event.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE, loadComplete);
            loader.load(request);
            addChild(loader);
        }
        function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
            var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;
            percentLoaded = Math.round(percentLoaded * 100);
            trace("Loading: "+percentLoaded+"%");
        } function loadComplete(event:Event):void {
            trace("Complete");
        }

```
