swapdepth question?

Question

HI! I have three movies in one movie that are in different layers as shown in the pic below. when I run a trace they are all in the same _level10, why is this?

I tried changing the depth to bring one in front of the other and it does do it to a point.

When I start I use this _root.pages2.page6.choosemovie.swapDepths(10); and it will bring the choosemovie in front or the choosecat and the when I click on a movie it then brings the my_FLVPlybk in front and all is well. BUT when I try to bring back the choosecat in front with

_root.pages2.page6.choosecat.swapDepths(10); it does not work. Why?

each timeline has its own set of depths.

it's not clear what you're tracing but, everything that's on-stage has as its most distant ancestor, _level0.

_root.pages2.page6.choosecat.swapDepths(10);

will move choosecat in front of choosemovie but it's not clear that it will be in front of my_FLVPlybk. if my_FLVPlybk is in _root.pages2.page6 and its depth is less than 10, then choosecat will move in front of my_FLVPlybk.
