loading mc above other layers

[disfasia]

I have a series of buttons which become transparent upon rollover. Beneath the buttons are various images. Now above with white mass, I want to project an mc which when i use telltarget blah blah blah, loads the mc beneath and not above these buttons causing it to not be totally visible. how would i load an mc above these buttons?

thanks to all for you help!

If i've understood you correctly (and theres no guarantee that i have) it should be as simple as making sure the mc you want to target is on a layer above the one with your buttons...Also make sure you have named the instance and targeted the correct mc within your script.

Right-click on your clip, and select 'cut', then create a new layer (the little icon under the list of layers at the top left of the screen). Insert a blank keyframe into the first frame of the layer. Now right-click again in a blank area of the stage and select 'paste'. I think you may have to rename the instance but im not sure..
Another way would to create a new layer and then just drag an instance of the mc from the library onto this new layer. Again you'll have to rename the instance (and delete the old mc).

oh i think i am confused--i was thining about levels and not layers (and it is not helping that my version of flash is in italian...they do not distinguish between level and layer)....ugh... and i just realized my error and the obviousness of the problem...thanks a lot...i am figuring this out now...

i figured it out--actually, somehow i think i subconsciously want to learn more about levels since i always try to figure out how to use them (to my advantage hopefully)...i read about them here but never seem to figure it out...but i think level figure in with swf s loading into a page and not a tell target....

thanks again!

it's as easy as

    loadMovieNum ("g_newurban_1_2.swf", 7);

where 7 is the level it would be put on.
