Hi there.

I’ve seen lots of threads on this, but none seem to work for me!

…I have multiple movielips overlapping on one timeline.

I need to bring a movieclip to front on rollover, and this works ok:

onClipEvent(load) {  
this.swapDepths(1);  
}  
onClipEvent(load) {  
this.swapDepths(0);  
}

But then it does not go back to its original position, and so it continues to overlap the other movieclips unless I refresh the screen and go to a different one first.

How can I make each movieclip come to front and return to back… I think it’s simple enough, but am a newbie.

Thank you for your help, and have a great Easter!!

Steven
