Yes, you can.

Load the swf on a ‘holder’ clip and anything on a layer on top of the layer where it is will show over it.

You can use the swapDepths() command aswell if you need to do it at runtime

I can think of some way of doing it if the swf is loaded in a level, but why overcomplicate things, eh!

Well, you can either use loadMovie (load the swf on to a -holder- movieClip) or loadMovieNum (load the swf on a level). If you’re using the first method just place your movie clip on a layer above the movieClip (holder) you’re loading the swf onto.
