Hello All, I’m pretty new to Flash (MX04). I have been trying to recreate the rollOver swapdepth effect (above). Works OK but slow using mc’s on the main timeline using the swapDepth behaviors. It appears (on the [Hurley.com](http://Hurley.com)) that each swf is loaded independently on top of the main with their own preloaders. This seems vastly more complicated than just swapping depths on a single timeline. Is it something that is possible for a sophmore action scripter? Im good with preloaders, loadMovie levels. A gentle shove in the right (swapDepth) direction would …GREAT. Thanx
