hi,
i have made 1 file named menu. there are 2 menu clips, left and right.
inside each MC, there are buttons. each button contains the following code:

on (release) {
this.swapDepths(1);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
target_mc1._x = -600;
target_mc1._y = -150;
target_mc1.loadMovie("1.swf");
}

the problem im facing is the external movie loads on the top of the right
menu, the left menu is still on the top of that external movie.

anyone can help plz?

Regards

it should load on top of all other movies.

the button code you have is attaching the mc to itself - in other words it is
becoming 'part' of the button instance within the 'menu' mc. instead you
should target the _root timeline with the createEmptyMovieClip call - in that
case it will go to the top level because of the getNextHighestDepth method.

on (release) {
// this.swapDepths(1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc1",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.target_mc1._x = -600;
_root.target_mc1._y = -150;
_root.target_mc1.loadMovie("1.swf");
