Think of them as pieces of paper. You put the first piece of paper on the table - your main movie, that’s level0. Then put another piece of paper on top of the first one (level0) - this new piece of paper is called level1, and so on.

But you can also remove any piece of paper you want from the pile (unloadMovieNum) and can re - write whats on the paper (loadMovieNum).

Level3 will appear on top of Level2, Level2 will appear on top of Level1, etc.

loadMovieNum (“movie”, level)

or use

loadMovie (“movieclip”) \<---- more control over this method.
