Unable to change overlap of colored lines

[scribby_9384]

I would really like some help. I'm working on a project that has colored outlines to the characters. Because I can't share a picture, this is a simplified version of my problem. Lets say I created two straight lines overlapping each other to create a plus symbol. Then, I changed the color of the vertical line to blue and horizontal to red. The problem is, I would like the red line to appear to overcross the blue, but instead, the blue is overcrossing the red. I've tried making a new red line directly overtop, but it just gets put under. Please, if I could get some help, I would be so thankful ;_;

Either separate them as Drawing Objects and rearrange, or vary the line weight by 0.1, i.e. make the one that you want to be on top slightly thicker. For example 3 and 3.1.

if this change of depths needs to occur during runtime, create movieclips or graphic objects and use addChild() to move an object to the top of the display.
