MovieClip frame order

  Umm, why would you do this?
  Well MovieClip is not meant to be used that way and I actually don't know what will happen, maybe sprite2 will overwrite sprite1.
  But the right idea is to provide correct timeline (by increasing frame numbers), as:

  local mc = MovieClip.new{ {1,2,sprite1}, {3,4,sprite2} }

  Then sprite1 will always be before sprite2

  lol
  Well I'm converting a flash game to gideros and movieclips in flash can have multiple layers per frame so I figured that's the best mapping I can do.
  It does work btw but the order doesn't appear to be deterministic

  You could group them with a parent sprite to provide layers and then use different movie clips to influence either a specific layer or the entire group.

  @mike950f did not know that, still can't really imagine how it should be but agree with @zvardin that you should make two layers of move clips and manage your animation that way

  Would it be ok then to add the sprites in the movieclip to the movieclip's parent?
  I think that will work! Thanks guys!
