Images Loading Over Layers?

[DanEdmonds]

On one layer I have a movieclip holding thumbnails and on another layer below that layer I have a loader component that the images are being loaded into. When the images are loaded, they are loading on top of the thumbnails movieclip. Why is this and is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

because the target movieclip is at a higher depth than the thumbnails.

to remedy, you can place the target movieclip on a layer below the thumbnails.

[DanEdmonds]

Are you saying that it has to be within the thumbnails movieclip?

[kglad]

no.

i said place the target movieclip(s) on a layer below the thumbnails.  i didn't say place the target movieclip(s) on the thumbnails timeline or make the target(s) children of the thumbnails.

well, i mean, the loader is on a layer below the thumbnails moiveclip layer. Unless, its because the loader component is somehow dominant over everything. Does the loader need to be in a movieclip?

i wish adobe would let us upload a zip file to show u cuz mine is using xml to load

Nevermind to uploading, I remembered I can changed the extension so I am uploading a zip file. The problem exists in the muralsGal_mc movieclip

how you load the Loader component wont really make any difference in the Display List stack.

if the Loader component is placed on a layer below the thumbnails, then at some point you must be calling: addChild([loaderInstanceName]) - which then would bring it to the top on the stack.  if the Loader is being placed in the IDE then there is no reason to call addChild and you should remove it to solve the issue.

Alright, I got it. I was using the addchild code when I didn't need to.

Thanks so much to you and kglad!
