Hi there.  
I use the code at the attached txt file to load an xml gallery.  
I have 2 buttons which i have convert to movieclips with instance names mc1 and mc2.  
I want to make these movieclips to appear in front of the loaded images and not behind.  
I tried at the end of my code this:

mc1.swapDepths(myContainer\_mc);  
mc2.swapDepths(myContainer\_mc);

but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

THanks in advance

P.S. I use as2
