hi there…  
i think the subject makes it all clear but i am gonna explain it for you…  
i have a movie that has 3 buttons on it…(and there r 7 of these button containing movies being loaded into my main movie…but this is not important in our case i guess.) anyway,  
each button loads a movie (they r draggable windows) into my main movie, located in different levels (not targets)…the problem is i want to change the alpha and depths of these draggable movies.eg;when i click on a button i want that draggable movie to come forward and set its alpha to 100 and the other two to 30…i could do this by loading the windows in target locations…but i can’t do it when i load them in levels…

thanx in advance

you can use swapDepths on levels but only with other levels and not numerical depths.

\_level1.swapDepths(\_level2)

similarly \_alpha can be used on levels as well. Just be sure to specify the level by name and make sure its loaded (and therefor able to be targeted)

\_level1.\_alpha = 30;
