Hi, I’m trying to make a few movieclips grow when you rollover them and the shrink back down when you rollout. I tried using swapDepth to make it so each clip would stay on top. But then when I try to instruct its root movie clip to go back to frame 1 (which is blank with a stop command), it remains on the stage… any auggestions?? Please help! THANKS!!

Here’s the code for the movie clip to grow/shrink/swapDepths

stop();  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (rewind == true) {  
prevFrame();  
}  
};  
this.onRollOver = function() {  
rewind = false;  
play();  
\_root.x +=2;  
this.swapDepths(\_root.x);  
};  
this.onRollOut = function() {  
rewind = true;  
if (\_root.x\>=0) {  
\_root.x -= 3;  
this.swapDepths(\_root.x);  
}  
};

Use

**mc.removeMovieClip();**

to remove it if you’ve given it a depth.
