I’m trying to make the container/loader Object that stores my load .swfs to have 0 depth. Thus, I want this container/loader Object to be under EVERYTHING in the movie, at the complete bottom, so whatever else is on the stage (graphics, images, masks, etc) would be always above it.

I’ve read Moock’s book, and 3.0 books, yet I can’t get the result I need. Here is the code:

// my\_loader is where I’m loading my .swfs to  
addChildAt(my\_loader,0)

Is that possible this way? Or, I have to create a movieclip and give it the instance name my\_loader then stack wherever I want to on the stage? That wouldn’t be the better practice in 3.0, if it’s feasible at all in my opinion, especially since all of my code is as 3.0 based.

Thanks for reading and and pointers…
