Try using <strong>addChildAt(loader, 1);</strong> to place the loader at a lower index then the frame image. You might need to experiment with the index value a little to get it right.

I set up layers in my fla (stage) with my frame image above the main layer but I still have the loader poping on top ov everything else. I figure there is probably a really simple explanation for this ... Cheers :) Nice work, I want to overlay an image on top of the loader how do I arrange this?

All you have to do is create a timer object with the interval settings that you want and then it will give you an event to handle at that set interval. Timers are great and I would recommend using them in place of the ENTER_FRAME event for most games. I say that because the frame rate might change while the game is running (too many graphics) but with a timer, things will still proceed at the same rate. Sure, ActionScript 3.0 has a Timer class.

Every time I edit this post, that bit of code gets messed up by the auto formating in WordPress. I think I fixed it -AGAIN- but I can't guarantee that it will be like that forever. Please refer to the XML document in the Downloadable source files if it is screwy again in the future. DANG IT!
