Hi

I am making a flashsite and I have created a dropdown menu. But when I load external movieclip (addChild) the dropdown menu appears behind the loaded movie. Is there a way to order the layers with AS3?

I have tried to put my AS3 code underneth the dropdown menu layer in the timeline, but it didnt work.

Thankfull for all help

cheers
