I have two flash documents that are loading, except, the one movie is loading
on top of another. I need to get it so that the first movie has a transparent
background so you can see through it to the second movie... How is this
accomplished? Any input would be great! Thanks! :)

MasterZorlak;
How is the movie being "loaded"? Only the embedded movie's background
should be displayed in the player--afaik loaded movie backgrounds color is
not displayed... -Tom Unger

By default when using "loadMovieNum" and you haven't created a
background layer in the movie that is being loaded, Flash will ingnore
the canvas color.

I hope this helps.

can u post a link to ur html file.
if u want one movie to have transparent background use <param name="wmode"
value="transparent"> and in the embed tags of ur swf use wmode="transparent" ;
Note: transparent has errors on Netscape and Mozilla browsers. So better chek
for that before going thru with the Code

All so the "wmode" does not work in os9 for mac. And it can be very
buggy. MM really needs to drop this function in Flash. Is best to redesign.
