I have a problem where I have 4 movie clips created at runtime that I want to be behind anything created within the movie. If I place those 4 movie clips starting at -16384, -16383 etc. they seem to overwrite the first few movie clips that aren't created at runtime. I'm going to have any number of objects within the movie so I don't want to have to use swapDepths() for everthing... I'd rather just throw the 4 I know of behind everything and not worry about it. I tried putting in a lower range like -17000 and it works... I'm just unclear as to why it's working and what problems that may cause. Any insight would be much appreciated... thanks!
