Why doesnt this work

im trying to get a movieclip i have on the maintimeline to swap its depth with a emptymovieclip im creating, i want to change the depth of the movieclip on the maintimeline which is stage to go to level 1.

heres the code im using any help is greatly appreciatted thanks

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("target", 1);
target.swapDepths("stage");

Don’t use the quotes;)

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("target", 1);
target.swapDepths(stage);

scotty(-:

ok so isnt this action supposed to change the movie clip stage to level 1. SO if its in level 1 and i load an external swf into level 1 why does it get unloaded if im loading the external swf into level 1???

Because it changes the depth of the mc, not the level…?

scotty(-:

ok i just need help on making a movieclip stay always playing while loading other swfs into level0 is this possible someone please help lol
