flash actionscript : Is this possible? - move a clip to another level?

I have a movie which loads into level 10 that is made up of two clips:

1. The menu, which sits on top.
2. the background image.

I want to preload the whole movie, then once its done loading, send the
background image clip down to level 2 so that I can bring new movies into the
levels between 2 and 10, and the background image will always be behind.
Is this even possible - moving a movie clip to a new level?

The main reason I want to do this is because I want to preload both the nav
AND the background before the movie plays, and use a % style preloader to show
overall progress. I dont want to preload one at a time. If you have a cleaner
solution then I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,
Murray

You can use
my_mc.swapDepths(depth:Number) function to swap the mc
eg
my_mc.swapDepths(2);

This won't swap mc's accross levels, only the z sorting depth of mc's
already on the same timeline.
