Newbie here - idiot instructions PLEASE!

I am working on my first flash document and I have two layers - each layer containing a text object. I have one of text object of layer1 dropping down and bouncing back up above the text object of layer2. On the way down, I want the text object of layer1 behind layer2 but on the way back up, I want it in front of layer2. How do I change the arrangment (order) of layers midway during animation. (FYI - the animation is done with motion tweens).

Thanks
 
2 layers right? one have an object on top of the other heh?

Basically, at the point where they meet or about to meet, just swap it so that whatever you have on layer1 is now on layer 2 and whatever is on layer2 is now on layer1, and then continue on animating.

Hope that helps.
