Then I create a placeholder movie clip...

You miss the point. Doing something because you can usually find a way to make it work doesn't make it a valid replacement for good coding practices. That you rarely come across a scenario that you can't handle that way only means that there *are* scenarios that won't work that way, and that it is likely that at least some of the time when it does work for you it would still be better (more efficient, more readable, etc) to do it a different way. Also, just because you rarely run into situations that don't work that way doesn't mean that others don't run into them all the time, which means your method probably isn't the best one to be recommending broadly in a thread about best practices. Why not pick a good, standardized way to manage depths that works in every scenario?

Anyway, this has gone on long enough. If you haven't gotten the point yet you're never going to.
