Hi,

I would like to specify the levels of several external swf’s.  
In this case I want two.swf on the top of one.swf

Where/ how in the code do i specify that?

```
emptymc7.loadMovie("one.swf");
emptymc7._x = -230;
emptymc7._y = -178;

```

emptymc8.loadMovie(“two.swf”);  
emptymc8.\_x = -230;  
emptymc8.\_y = -178;

thanx for helping!

Mel\*

Allright… Just use a method called swapDepths();

emptymc7.swapDepths(100);  
emptymc8.swapDepths(500);

That will put the two.swf movie in front of the one… 🙂

Also… If you wanna flip these around then… Just.

emptymc7.swapDepths(emptymxc8);

I don’t like working with levels… I just cut straight to the point when I’m doing things… 🙂
