Let me see if this is right! You have a main movie and want an extra movie on top of a movie below? Like a alpha effect movie on top of a movie?

inflicted…  
i don’t know which that layer is… i have no idea where it is created

this is the code:

b2.onPress = function() {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“i see.swf”, container);  
container.\_x = 50 ;  
container.\_y = 45 ;

};

scotty… i’m totally new to action script… where should i put that line… i have to replace “myMovieClip” with the name of my movie?  
do i have to include quotes?
