One simple way is to copy all the keyframes of your first .fla into a new 

movie clip symbol in the same .fla. Then, with the library list visible, 

open the second .fla and drag the new movie clip into it. You can then 

scale the movie clip as needed.


you could also copy the original keyframes directly into new layers in the 

timeline of the second .fla, and use Edit Multiple Frames to align the new 

objects. You need to unlock only the layers you wish to realign, and use 

onion skin controls to select just the frames you want to edit.
