Please note, I'm not very well acquainted with Ming (yet) but I do have a bit of experience of flash...

If it's just a matter of loading the movie, it's easier to load a background (as the first movie loaded is treated as _level0 in flash), then get the background to load the foreground movie in front on any level you want.

If the background is a shared background (so no code to load in it), create a movie that loads the background a level >0 and then loads the foreground movie on a level higher than that.

I've almost certainly missed the point entirely so feel free to flame me :-)
