Is there an easy way to scale down a multi-layered flash file and turn it into a single movie clip? For example, All my projects at work are set at 1360 X 768 to fit large flatscreen TV's. I'm trying to make each project smaller, and into a movie clip to put in the "work" section of my website. Any help? Thanks.

Oh, I should ad that I'm trying to avoid resizing EACH layer and movie clip individually.

Sure. Maybe.
Create a new movieclip. Use onion skinning show multiple frames. Pull handles out to extend over your whole timeline. Zoom out and click and drag making sure you select every part of each layer animation. Option click on timeline. Select Copy frames. Open new movieclip. Option click on timeline. Paste frames. Drag new movieclip to designated spot.

can you not just use the swfs at the size they are and just load them into a movieclip in another swf and scale the movieclip?

You can go to file>publish settings, check both Flash and HTML formats, then you can go into the HTML tab of the Publish Settings window and set the size of the file. It's the drop down under Dimensions, choose pixels and then you can manually enter the width and height you want. Then publish the file and you'll end up with a swf at the dimensions you entered. You can then convert that swf into a movieclip. Hope that helps!

You can just copy all the frames in the main timeline, paste them into a new movie clip and then scale that.

Thanks everyone! Chalaska's suggestion worked fine.
Lvl, I tried that with the onion skinning, but I think the
file was pretty large and every time I moved the handles I
got the spinny mac rainbow ball and had to wait.Much appreciated all!
