I have a slightly large Jpeg that I want to load after the movie has loaded to save space. I have chosen to follow the example given [here](http://actionscript-toolbox.com/samplemx_loadjpg.php). Where, on what layer, does the createEmptyMovieClip method insert the new MC? I’ve fooled around with the depth field to no avail. The movie is still located before the foreground of my main movie. I guess the question is how do I sink the movie into a deeper layer? ~Thanks
