Mushi mushi.

I’m using this code

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
i++;  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.star,“star”+i,i);  
\_root.counter=i;  
}

and what I think that’s doing is placing each new clip it creates on a new level above the one before it. It’s caused a problem as I have other stuff in my movie that I need to stay above these movie clips, and at the moment it’s getting bumped to the bottom.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can keep these generated movieclips below my content, or maybe go the other way and push my content above the movie clips?

Thanks in advance.
