Hi everybody,

I am having a problem swapping depths between MCs. I have one movie clip temp\_mc, which I want to be in front of everything in my movie.  
I have the code below in my first frame. Later, I load another movie into level 99. When I play the movie, \_level99 appears in front of \_level3000, which should be occupied by temp\_mc.

am I missing something here? Please help

```auto

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("swapHolder_mc",3000);
swapHolder_mc.swapDepths (temp_mc);

```

Thanks a lot
