first i load a movie clip from my library using attachMovie.  
then i load a jpg using loadMovie in a containerMC located on top of the clip above.  
the movie clip is a yellow square with alpha = 30.  
the jpg is a picture.

they both appear on stage but it looks like the picture is under the movie clip, so the picture has a yellow sheen (from the alpha) on it. how do i load the jpg above the attachMovie?

i loaded the jpg at the very last frame so it occurs last but it doesn’t make a difference. and the containerMC is on my top most layer.
