We can swap depths of movie clips… ok…what about JPGs?  
I have an empty MC where I want to load images from an array and then starts swapping thier depths.  
Here is the script I use for loading them and the script I wans hoping will work for swapping thier depths:  
onClipEvent (load){  
var image\_arr = new Array “1.jpg”,“2.jpg”,“3.jpg”…,“7.jpg”);  
for (var i=0;i\<image\_arr.length;i++)  
{  
loadMovieNum(image\_arr\*, i);  
trace ("loaded image " + image\_arr\* + " in level " + i) }  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame){  
trace (this + image\_arr[5]);  
this.image\_arr[5].swapDepths (6);  
}

How would I swap the depth of image 6 (image\_arr[5].) and have it come to the surface?

Hey!, thanks for answering.  
I actually learned that once you load more than 1 jpg into a movie clip, you can’t start effecting the images there.  
So I actually did as you suggested. I loaded images to seperate movie clips
