AddChildAt & levels...

Question

Hi. I'm loading swf files in an array into a main swf container, and simply wish to keep one mc - the navmenu - on top of all swfs, but I'm struggling. I'm trying
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
var navmenu = new NavMenu();
addChildAt(navmenu,1);
after the array but the swf's are still loading on top. I've also tried:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
var navmenu = new NavMenu();
var highest_depth: int = this.numChildren;
this.addChildAt( navmenu, highest_depth );
and same thing. I'm brown-green with AS3 and definitely new to arrays - Do I need to put the navmenu in a seperate array? My full code:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
// load logo
var logo = new MyMovieClip();
addChild(logo);
/// create mc
var tl:MovieClip = this;
// arrary, loaders, etc
var loaderNum:uint = 0;
var swfArray:Array = ["news.swf", "biopress.swf", "sounds.swf", "images.swf", "video.swf", "shows.swf", "store.swf", "contact.swf", "guestbook.swf", "blog.swf"];
tl["loader_0"] = new Loader();
tl["loader_1"] = new Loader();
tl["loader_0"].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadCompleteF);
tl["loader_1"].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadCompleteF);
// listener for first loader_0 center-aligning
tl["loader_0"].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,centerLoader);
tl["loader_0"].load(new URLRequest(swfArray[0]));
addChildAt(tl["loader_1"],0);
function centerLoader(e:Event){
addChildAt(tl["loader_0"],0);
function loadCompleteF(e:Event){
loaderNum=(loaderNum+1)%2;
e.target.loader.x=0;
e.target.loader.y=0;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
function resizeHandler(e:Event){
var sw:int = int(stage.stageWidth);
var sh:int = int(stage.stageHeight);
tl["loader_0"].x= 0;
tl["loader_0"].y= 0;   
tl["loader_1"].x= 0;
tl["loader_1"].y= 0;
logo.x = sw - 190;
logo.y = sh - 70;
resizeHandler(null);
// load navmenu
//NavLoader = new Loader();
//NavLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, NavOnComplete);
var navmenu = new NavMenu();
addChildAt(navmenu,1);
navmenu.x = 52;
navmenu.y = 15;
Thanks so much for any tips and/or help. And I hope I don't critcized again for coming to a support forum looking for, well, support.

If all you want to do is "keep one mc - the navmenu - on top of all swfs...", there's a simple solution to that. Using addChild will add objects to the display list in a chronoloigical order, i.e. - the next object you add will be one level up from the last object you added. So, in order to keep the navMenu on top, just make sure it's last object you add with addChild, like so:
stage.addChild(swf1);
stage.addChild(swf2);
stage.addChild(swf3);
stage.addChild(navMenu);
hope that helps,
