Hello all,  
I’ve used the following script to place an external swf into a website.

[AS]createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, “app”);  
container.loadMovie(“app.swf”);  
container.\_x = 31; container.\_y =42[/AS]

I want the movie to load into the frame I’ve put the action script on so it won’t overlap other content. However, it seems to load on top of all content.

Any ideas?

Thanks
