Help with Depths and overlapping mc's

programming flash
1

Greetings fellow air-breathers!

I’ve got this little flash thing I’m working on…

[SIZE=7]HERE
[SIZE=2]

And I’m having a hard time figuring out how to deal with the problem of the stars overlapping the label box… Its definitely because I’m using _root.getNextHighestDepth in both attachMovie’s

But I can’t figure out how to change it so that the label_mc’s and the star_mc’s are on two different playing fields if you know what I mean…

[SIZE=7]
THE CODE
[SIZE=2]

var xcord_a:Array = new Array();
var ycord_a:Array = new Array();
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("xml.xml");
function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        xmlNode = this.firstChild;
        total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
        for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
            xcord_a.push(String(xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue));
            ycord_a.push(String(xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue));
            /*** HERE ***/
            _root.attachMovie("star_mc", ["star"+i+"_mc"], _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:xcord_a*, _y:ycord_a*});
            _root.attachMovie("label_mc", ["label"+i+"_mc"], _root.getNextHighestDepth());
            /************/
            _root["star"+i+"_mc"].index = i;
            _root["star"+i+"_mc"].onRollOver = function() {
                _root["label"+this.index+"_mc"]._x = _root._xmouse;
                _root["label"+this.index+"_mc"]._y = _root._ymouse;
                fadeIn(this.index);
            };
            _root["star"+i+"_mc"].onRollOut = function() {
                cur = _root["label"+this.index+"_mc"]._currentframe;
                _root["label"+this.index+"_mc"].gotoAndPlay(22-cur);
                _root["label"+this.index+"_mc"].stopDrag();
            };
        }
    } else {
        trace("ERROR");
    }
}
function fadeIn(theIndex) {
    var labelHeight:Number = _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"]._height;
    var labelWidth:Number = _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"]._width;
    var stageWidth:Number = Stage.width-labelWidth;
    var stageHeight:Number = Stage.height-labelHeight;
    if (_root["star"+theIndex+"_mc"]._y>stageHeight && _root["star"+theIndex+"_mc"]._x>stageWidth) {
        trace("BOTH");
        _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"].labelCont_mc.labelPos_mc._x = (-1)*(labelWidth/2+15);
        _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"].labelCont_mc.labelPos_mc._y = (-1)*(labelHeight+10);
    } else if (_root["star"+theIndex+"_mc"]._y>stageHeight) {
        _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"].labelCont_mc.labelPos_mc._y = (-1)*(labelHeight+10);
    } else if (_root["star"+theIndex+"_mc"]._x>stageWidth) {
        _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"].labelCont_mc.labelPos_mc._x = (-1)*(labelWidth+20);
    } else {
        trace("TOP/LEFT");
    }
    _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"].gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root["label"+theIndex+"_mc"].startDrag(true);
}

Can anyone offer me some wisdom?
