I can’t seem to figure out how to get the movie to load on a layer underneath another.

```auto
test.onPress = function () {
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
	loadMovie("test_1.swf", "container");
	container._x = 0 ;
	container._y = 0 ;
}

```

do i have to set a depth over the whole script? how do i do that? thanks
