title: Placing movieClip object in AS3 below(in depth - think of z-index) timeline layer in Flash
body: <p>I am working on a Flash ad. I use AS3 generated objects as well as movieclips placed manually in the timeline. Although the AS3 layer is below my manually placed timeline layers, the AS3 placed movieclips are visible "above/on top of/have higher z-index than" my timeline layers.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of handling the display order of AS3 generated objects via <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/display_list_programming_as3.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">display list model</a>, like discussed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1500017/stage-addchild-and-layering">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However I cannot find information in which way timeline layers(Flash IDE layers) are correlated to AS3 generated "display object containers".
  Edit: Obviously IDE layers are out of scope of the display list model, but I have no source for that.</p>
  
  <p>Basically I only want to make sure that my transparent clickTag-button-layer is above all content in my ad. Currently the AS3 placed movieClips are above it.</p>
