Just to throw my 2c in, I personally only use getNextHighestDepth(), and
as yet haven't had any problems with it. The majority of our screens
are already placed in the Flash timeline, I use attachMovie almost only
to populate scrollpanes, and loadMovie only into graphic components.
To keep our code separated from the design, we will use placeholders /
components in the Flash file to define where external elements are
loaded. This lets the designers fiddle with what they like, without
having to bother me :)

Nonsense, this is a great debate IMHO, and I would love to hear more
from others as well. This is something that everyone has to deal
with, and I genuinely thought that others would make more use of
getNextHighestDepth() and was surprised that you and others avoid it.
What are the situations that you have come across where only manual
depth management would work? Do you have other ways of managing depth?
