im using a load targetscript to load external swfs into the main timeline of my movie, however im keeping much of the other layers/mc’s loaded, and the external swf is loading over them, the level the blank movie clip is created in doesnt seem to be working propperlly?? whats going wrong?

bandb.onPress = function() {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“empty2”, 4);  
loadMovie(“flash/band.swf”, “\_root.empty2”);  
container.\_x = 0;  
container.\_y = 0;  
};

thats the “4” as in the 4th layer, up from the bottom!
