Hello!  
I have a question about swap depth.

I have been looking at the tut. on this site about swap depth and it works fine as long as the MC are on the main timeline. But what I need to do is to swap depth on some MC nested inside another MC, when I click a button.

Ive been trying this, but its not working:

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.MC.x +=2;
	_root.MC.MC2.swapDepths(_root.MC.x);
}

```

this is the original code:

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.x +=2;
	_root.MC.swapDepths(_root.x);
}

```

Is it even possible to do what I wanna do?

Thank so much!
