Yet Another Swap Depth Question

I’m new to this forum, so please be kind. :hugegrin:

I’ve spent about an hour searching around, but could not find a solution to the specific problem I’m trying to solve.

I have four buttons that are movie clips and each one zooms in when the mouse rolls over, and then zooms back to its original size when the mouse rolls off. That part works fine. But the problem is that they overlap and when one zooms, it is “behind” another object and partially obscured. I can’t figure out the script to swap the “active” MC to the top.

Also, how can I define “Hit Areas” so that only a portion of each movie clip is effected by the mouse rolling over it?

I tried to attach a sample to demonstrate the problem, but the FLA file is 2.6mb and too big to attach. So here is a link to it:

Sample File

Only the first two buttons are scripted at this point.

I know how to achieve the effect using Swap Image in Dreamweaver with animated GIFs. But I really want to learn how to do it with Flash instead.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
