Layers v. Levels

Can someone please tell me when I should use levels instead of layers. I still don't get the difference.

Usually if I want something to appear above something else, I usually put it on a layer above. If I load an external swf or jpg, I load it into an empty movie clip located on a higher layer.

So when would I use levels?

Thanks.

Sorry that note didn't help me much and I have the same question.

What IS level0 exactly? Is it the main timeline? is it the main timeline underneath a movie clip on the stage? I'm not doing anything with ANY other swf's, just one. I'm not loading any others into it... so is the whole thing level0?

Thanks~

in your case _level0 = _root = the main timeline...

THANKS!
