UIImage over image view?

Hey guys basically i needed a gif background so i used UIImage and got it working but now when i add a button or a label or anything they are all under the UIImage what shall i do? 

 var imageData = NSData(contentsOfURL: NSBundle.mainBundle()
        .URLForResource("desert", withExtension: "gif")!)
    let desert1 = UIImage.animatedImageWithData(imageData!)
    var imageView = UIImageView(image: desert1)
    imageView.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0), size: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size)

If you add the imageview in code it will be on top. Have you put your label and button in a xib-file or also in code? If they're all in code put them in the right order or look at the documentation for a uiview method like addSubview: belowView: or addSubview: aboveView: In a xib file you can set the hyrarchie graphically.
