Hello,  
I’m having trouble making a movie clip (portfolio\_mc) appear on top of another movie clip. (bg\_mc) I’ve tried setting portfolio\_mc to the next highest depth using the following directly on the movie clip.

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
this.swapDepths(portfolio\_mc.getNextHighestDepth());  
}

I’ve also tried multiple times to set bg\_mc to the lowest depth possible, but my novice AS skills are hopeless.

Are there any other ways I can set portfolio\_mc’s depth to the highest possible?  
(or bg\_mc’s depth to the lowest possible…)
