1) Be aware that every MovieClip (including _root) has its
own stack of
depths, it's not just one stack for the whole movie
2) Supposing that your code is on _root, I guess what
happens is
	a) you create main_mc on _root (if you create it manually,
it will
have a negative depth)
	b) later, when the onLoad fires, you attach the background
on _root.
this.getNextHighestDepth() will return a height above the
already existing
main_mc
	c) later you load a movie into main_mc - this will appear
on the
height of main_mc, i.e. below the backgroung 'tab_mc'
3) use swapDepths to change the depths: try
main_mc.swapDepths(tab_mc);

Subject: [Flashnewbie] Depths

Hello,

I was wondering how Flash deals with depths in a loaded
movie?  I know how
to set the depth on an attached movie from my library but
not a loaded swf
(loaded using loadMovie).

In the below code, I would like the background to load below
the swf movie.
I attach the background first, so I would assume that the
movie would load
on top of it... But it didn't work that way.  The loaded swf
movie showed up
below the movie I attached from my library.

Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Thanks!
Susan

	main_mc.loadMovie(urlList[0]);

};
x.load("nav.xml");
