Hi,  
I have 2 MCs on the stage. I attach a movie to MC1 and do an \_alpha tween on that by AS. After that, I use

```auto

MC1.swapDepths(1000); //just to have a value
MC1.removeMovieClip();

```

After MC1 I do the same thing with MC2. It works removing the MC1.  
If I want to do this as a loop, I remove MC2 as for the MC1.  
Question: How can I get the MC1 back now?

Thanks,
