[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi there![/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I have, what it seam, a problem of “depths” between my movie clips.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I created my first ones using this method:[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]

```auto
[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]for (i = 1; i < 289; i++) [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]{[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] duplicateMovieClip("area_test", "mc_mark_" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]}[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]

```

[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]And in my code I also have ANOTHER (mc\_viewer) movie clip that was supposed to be OVER the ones that are created before and not the other way around.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Does anyone know how to change the depths of the movies so my FIRST movie, mc\_viewer, will be on top or in front of the movies ‘created’ from the duplicatemovieclip.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]???[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Thanks.[/SIZE][/FONT]
