Drawing order of curve behind loaded movie

Question

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the draw order of curve that's drawn
using Actionscript. In terms of the order of execution of the
function call, I have a SWF loaded first using the loadMovie
function. Then I call the curveTo function with certain parameters
to try to draw a curve on top of the loaded movie. However, the
strange behavior is that the line is hidden behind the movie clip.
I've used swapDepths, but it wasn't working for me. Also tried
using the createEmptyMovieClip function with a depth number
assigned, but didn't do the trick. Any suggestion?

1.  there's no reason for an onEnterFrame loop.
2. there's no reason to use any setInterval() functions in the code you showed.
3. you should be using the same function to load your swfs.  if some logic is needed to position, for example, the different swfs in different locations, the logic should be in that function.
ie, you should be using something like:
_level0 swf:
function nextMov(){
loadF(MovieList[movieQNum]);
movieQNum=(movieQNum+1)%MovieList.length;
function loadF(swf:String){
dep = getNextHighestDepth();
currLo.removeMovieClip();
currLo = createEmptyMovieClip("currLo"+dep, dep);
loadMovie(moviename, currLo);
//move the loaded movie behind movie frame
BlackMovieFrame.swapDepths(currLo);
function endSession(mc:MovieClip){
mc.removeMovieClip();
nextMove();
// in the loaded swfs:
var tl:MovieClip=this;
btnArrow.onPress = function() {
_root.endSession(tl);
