I am trying to build a flash application which has number of movie clips like an image thumbnail list which is loading images dynamically inside it and after the image is selected i want to bring it to stage

i tried using levels to place my movie but dint worked for me like addClipAt(moviename, depth)

Tried some alternative like stage.addclip(moviename) or stage.addClipAt(moviename,depth) with this i am able to place the movie on stage but can not refer to it like moving it or using it any way i dont know how to call it back ??

Any Help or suggestion would be really helpfull to me

Also, I have one more question about AS3, which is not related to this topic. Should I ask it here, or should I contact you separately about that? If latter, then how do I contact you?

Your tutorials are very well written and with relevant examples. I have checked displacement map, and the one with ball rolling and this is the third one. I liked them all.

I have a question about this one. While working through Flash, what happens to objects placed in layers? I have a flash file and it has two objects directly placed on Stage in two separate layers. The third layer has some actionscript code using which I add some more items. But the items that I add through actionscript are going to the bottom of stack.
Why is that? Is that expected behaviour? If I want to have all those items on the top of everything, what should I do? I can’t afford to increase depths of all as I create many objects dynamically and it would be very inefficient to keep changing depth of everyone by calculating again.

Please clarify if I have misunderstood things.

Thanks,
Mukesh
