I'm trying to post my flash game to newgrounds but my game is too large (50 megs, that's whittled down from 200 megs and yes I've already asked Tom). Hosting it on my own webserver is not a problem, so I was wondering if anyone here would know how I could make a very simple .swf that loads the entire game, and just upload that to newgrounds instead, and if I have to make any changes to the original game to get it up and running.

One thing you can do to make the .fla smaller is go to:
File-Save and Compact
this will save your original .fla file with it now using much less space. This might lower the bytes on the .swf I'm not sure.
If it doesn't you should tell us why it's so big so maybe we can help with more specific advice.

I'm not trying to make my game more compact since it's a lot of work for my fla, I want to use a shortcut and externalize the whole thing.

Your .swf file is 50mb? Dude, nobody will wait for that to load.
You can solve pretty much any problem you may have with AS3 by consulting the AS3 Language reference.

It's actually 37 megs and I really haven't had a single complaint in the waiting department... Lots of people have played it already, but I'm not making any of you guys play it since it's an adult game...

It's a hentai game, and it's a sequel to a game that's already on here. Legit.

Right, well, loading swf to another swf is really simple. Check the Loader class from the link in my sig.

I think he means his .swf... HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SQUEEZING OUT 50 MB's??? You're obviously not compressing images and stuff...geez wiz, having a 50mb online game is the worst idea ever, people won't play it from the huge loading time it will take.

I'm sure it's justified hentai deliciousness. Video or something.
Loading it from elsewhere is not a problem. Simply add a /crossdomain.xml file on your domain with content like this. This tells Flash it's allowed to hotlink stuff from your site. Then use Loader in AS3 or loadMovie (or what was it) in AS2 to load in the files.
Also, consider the bandwidth limits of your site. If it's only something like 5GB which is the usual for small site hosting, you'll only be able to send the file 130 times, after which your site will stop working till the next month.
