When I trace the next highest depth at the initial frame of my SWF it returns 9877. Is this due to the way I setup the objects and layers through authoring? The reason I ask is that this is somehow interfering with my attachMovie and unloadMovie (unloadMovie stops working after another 6 extra depths).

Cheers!
