Loading external SWF's with Transparent Background - actionscript-3

Just to get some professional opinions, is it possible to load in an external SWF and set that SWF's background to transparent?
This question has nothing to do with embedding the SWF in an HTML page. I already know that setting the WMODE to transparent will create a SWF with a transparent background in a browser.

I don't believe that there is. Assuming that I understood your question right, the stage's background cannot be transparent as the color picker in CS4 for it doesn't have the alpha, and I doubt you could do it with code if you couldn't there.

Assuming you are talking about loading swfs inside swfs:
The background color property is only used when you open the swf inside the standalone player. Inside the browser, you can set this property via swfobject (other embed methods are available), other wise it is always transparent. In fact, in the compile options it is called 'default-background-color', not 'background-color', I think they should update this in the Flash IDE to be clearer...
I would recommend drawing or placing a graphic with the desired background color just underneath the loaded swf.
Hope this helps you

HTML5 Canvas overlay for Flash

Basically, I am trying to create an HTML5 canvas to overlay an embedded 3rd party flash application. I cannot set the flash's wmode as I have no control over the flash itself, I was wondering if it was possible to work around this, and position a canvas (or anything for that matter) visibly in front of the flash element.
I understand that this is probably not possible, but I would appreciate any feedback, even if it's just telling me that what I'm asking is impossible.

Transparent Video in HTML 5 with Captivate

So I have shot some video on a green screen, removed the background in After Effects and have saved the video in an alpha channel. I want to place the video into Adobe Captivate, these video are going to be a talking narrative throughout the slides. After importing and placing the video where I want it, I go to preview. If I preview the slides in Captivates normal previewer the background is transparent, just the way I want it. But if I preview it or publish it to HTML 5 the background becomes black. HTML 5 is what this project needs to be viewed in. Am I doing something wrong or does HTML 5 not support transparent video. Thanks for your help.
You may need to use canvas element for rendering video with transparency, see https://github.com/m90/seeThru
seeThru - HTML5 video with alpha channel transparencies
This package adds "support" for the lacking alpha channel in HTML5 elements. The original video data will simply be re-rendered into a canvas-element, therefore adding the possibility to use transparencies for your video. Alpha information can either be included in the video's source file (moving) or in a seperate -element (static).

Flash z-index in iframe

so this is a problem:
when I'm using flash on website, and creating some dialog box which should be over all other elements I use just proper z-index for dialog box (in IE6 it's needed to set transparent wmode for flash). But flash programmer don't want to give me flash file and suggested to use iframe linking to his website.
on my website there is iframe
in iframe there is a flash object
when showing dialog box flash is over dialogbox (not depending of z-index and even wmode that I set by firebug)
I can't get touch with flash developer (anyway he sad that flash object will still remain on his website) so maybe you have any solution?
and weird thing:
- on some pc's it's working properly, one some not. what can be the reason?
Because Flash is being rendered by a plugin, I don't think changes made to the wmode property in Firebug will have immediate effect. You'll need to add the wmode="transparent" in the source and reload the page.
