hey all,  
I am developing a game wherein a gamer has to drag a clip to another clip. I load the destination clip by

```auto
onepic1.loadMovie("imgs/1pic1.jpg");

```

And I do the drag techniq by

```auto

 
on(press) {
 startDrag(getProperty(_x,_y));
 }
 
on(release) {
 stopDrag();
if (_droptarget eq "/onepic1") {
blah blah...
}
}

```

What happens is the dragged object is seen beneath the destination clip including other destination clips loaded that way. I need the dragged object to be seen above all other clips. This is something like the Z-index in HTML. Is there anyway how I can do it?

Thanks.
