I created a movie in flash, saved is as an .swf, then imported into a new doc
as my background. When I export, I can't get the darn thing to be the
background, it floats over the top of my new movie. Can someone help?? A red
box also shows up in the upper left corner and I don't know why.

Extra credit: Anyone know why my tween on the fortune paper looks so crappy?

I attached my working file.

Thanks!

I don't believe DOC is capable of such thing. IT support some swf but its use extremely limited.
DOC is pretty primitive type format.

By The way:

Not sure what you mean by that...

Your fla has this action on frame 1

loadMovieNum ("circle_bkgrnd.swf", 1);

Several problems:
1. You didn't include this file in your posted zip
2. Why are you loading in the background at runtime? Why not simply import it
into your fla (File > Import)
3. If you do need to load the background at runtime then place an empty MC
beneath all your other layers and use loadMovie not loadMovieNum to load it
into that. Your current script will place the loaded background on a new layer
above everything else.

Using shape hints will help your shape tween. Look up 'Using shape hints' in
Flash help.
