Hi, Is it possible to change the color of a swf file with a transparent background of which I don't have access to the source (.fla) file? Am I right in thinking it's probably not possible to do it in the html code that loads the Flash into the web page? Is there a way of doing it if I load it into another Flash file using LoadMovie? Cheers, Suzy

Just the background color is possible in one of two ways- either in the HTML embed code, or using transparent wmode in the embed code and having a suitable image as a background image on a element that wraps the embedded swf.

If you load it into another clip you may have some luck; but it is also likely that lots of actions will break- especially if coded originally in AS1

Cheers for that scudsucker. I think it will probably be easier to rebuild the movie in Flash myself but thanks for the help

also - if the original dev made the bg colour by slapping a large coloured rectangle behind everything, which I do usually, there's nothing you can do to change the colour.
