how can i control swf background transparency in vb.net.........either with flash.ocx or if there is any other way.......so that if i have a swf animation block with red in background and some text written with yellow.......now how can i remove that red background in vb.net...actually i want to make a system so that i can choose any color as transparency key for swf.........like in tv channels logos.......etc

I'm afraid you simply cannot. The Flash file will always play over everything else, and is ignorant (more or less) of things outside of it.
It is the nature of having such a rigidly seperated third party content format and player.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

You can make a Flash object have transparency to the background of the .swf, but not transparent to your VB.NET application.

If your swf truly has a transparent background and you're playing it over a solid-colored surface you can set the container AxShowwaveFlash's BGColor to be the same as the background. For instance, if you've got a swf called AxShockwaveFlash1 playing on top of a standard VB.Net form you can use this code:
Me.AxShockwaveFlash1.BGColor = Me.BackColor.R.ToString("X2") & Me.BackColor.G.ToString("X2") & Me.BackColor.B.ToString("X2")
