Hì u all,  
I can’t figure out how to solve this problem:  
I have 4 mc on the stage (mc1,mc2…), each mc has a mc inside (in\_mc1,in\_mc2…) that onPress have to bring the respective mc on the front.

in the first frame I have  
i=20;

in the first frame of each mc I have  
in\_mc.onPress=function(){  
\_root.mc.swapdepths(i++);  
}

this code brings the pressed mc on the top of the others, but if I have on top mc1, then mc2 and then mc3 and I press mc2 p.e happens that mc2 is on top but mc3 is over mc1. why???

please help!!!
