Hello:

On the main timeline I have an itemdetail\_mc, inside which is a detailthumb\_mc (which loads an external image using onClipEvent(load)) and a watermark wm\_mc. The watermark mc is on a higher layer in the Timeline than the detailthumb\_mc, but when the external image loads, it loads over the watermark instead of under it. I tried using swapDepths, but this didn’t help. Any suggestions?

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.itemdetail\_mc.detailthumb\_mc.swapDepths (\_root.itemdetail\_mc.wm\_mc);  
}
