Trying to make the FLV playback black area white or transparent, because there
is a black flash that shows up when play the movie. I am trying to alleviate
this by changing the black area to another color or alpha.

If I'm understanding you correctly, and I'm no expert.... Re- import the flv and when you choose the playback template, choose the clear one.

In your publish settings, click on the HTML tab and look for a field entitled
'Window Mode'. One of the choices is 'Transparent Windowless'. This should
work if you have objects that don't have backgrounds. If you are looking to
make video transparent, so far in my experience, the only video I have been
able to make this work with is a Quicktime Animation with the RGB + Alpha.
Also, when you import your video to the stage, make sure to click on the
'Encode Alpha Channel' box. That will give you the transparency you're looking
for.
