   I want to place the emitter behind a MovieClip and don't know how do that since the emitter is generated dynamically at runtime and the MC is authored on the timeline. Help appreciated.

   I've used
   
   setChildIndex(renderer,0);
   
   Where 0 is the level of the displayobject.
   
   It's a bit quirky for me, where if i set the level of the movie clip (i.e 1), and the level of the renderer (i.e 0) then it doesn't work properly..
   
   Anyways, i hope i helped.
   
   My 2 cents.

   Alternatively, when adding the renderer to the stage, place it at the back with
   
   addChildAt( renderer, 0 );
   
   or place the renderer behind your mob=vieclip but in front of everything else
   
   var index:int = getChildIndex( myClip );
addChildAt( renderer, index );

   Thanks to both of you. That worked nicely.
   
   Now since I'm I'm using v1.0.4 how do I stop or remove the emitter when I want to? The docs don't list a method for stop() or remove.
   
   EDIT: Never mind. I found an answer from an October post.
   emitter.dispose(); and/or remove renderer.
