Can anyone tell me why my top layer (a transparent png) doesn't show up when I export my movie? Get it here:

Any help is appreciated.

It might have something to do with depths.
I tried converting the PNG to a symbol, and swapping a higher depth (i.e. 10000), and it showed up fine.

import a transparent gif or make sure your png is really transparent or deal with the BG color possibly?

How do you "swap a higher depth?"
Nice site btw.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it's a depth issue. Converting the PNG to a movieclip yieled something like -16353 as the level.
After using swapDepth to a higher level, it appeared above everything and worked fine. However, it's a bit of a ugly workaround.

Thanks.
To swap depths,
instanceName.swapDepths(depthNum...
As said before, it's not the cleanest way of doing things, as I would imagine if all your objects are having low depths, you'd have to manually adjust them, which isn't pretty.
