Hi All,
I’m fairly new to Flash and very new to Actionscript 3… I have a Rotating Flash banner on my homepage that slides in 4 different external images using LOADER
However - the LOADER always seems to load the image above other movieclips that I want it to go under
I’ve tried loading the image into movieclips that are in a layer below the thing that I want to be on top
but the image always ends up above everything else… grrrr
probably me being stupid - any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Here’s the code…
mover_mc is where I am loading the external image - mover_mc is currently on the main timeline - I’ve tried sticking it elsewhere but still can’t get it to work
