[thelist] actionscript question

Hi all,

I'm getting started learning actionscript, and am running into some 
weirdness.

I want to load a movie into movieclip, and have the visibility of the clip 
sent to none, until I need it later on. So, here's what my code looks 
like...

createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
container._visible = false;
container.loadMovie("submovie.swf");

well, this works just fine - the movie loads the way you'd expect. However, 
it immediately appears on the stage - seeming to ignore the _visible 
property.

Curiously, if I set container._alpha = 10, this work as expected.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Does loadMovie automatically set 
the visibility of a clip to true, and there is no way around this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
