Hey, I have 4 mc, lying under each other. How can I do so that when I press a button3, mc3 will be shown on top? And if I press button1, mc1 will be on top.

Thanks,

Yeah, it’s not totally intuitive, but it’s easy once you get it!

Ok, I never actually found the tutorial. But i found the swapDepth thingy in AS, so worked this out:

\_root.profile\_page.profile\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
\_root.profile\_page.swapDepths(5); //Didnt know what to set there, so just chose 5…  
tellTarget (profile\_page) {  
gotoAndStop (“up”)  
}  
};

And it works, so when i press profile\_btn the profile\_page goes to the top and switches its “state”. But how can i get it to switch back to down state when one of the other buttons are pressed?

Thanks,

Not sure what you mean - do you mean the state of the button?
