swap depths: help meeee

[paola13]

I have a mc "picture". Inside there is another one "image" and inside "image" there are 4 mc (mc1, mc2, ecc..).
Each mc1, mc2, ecc.. start an animation on mouse press. The mc1-2-3-4 became bigger till fill all the screen... the problem is that i can see the mc that stay on the upper leyers...
Also the mc "picture" scroll with the duplicate mc clip and the set property:

For the mc "picture":

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.picture, _x>3.6) {
setProperty (_root.picture, _x, -839);
}
setProperty (_root.picture, _x, _x-Number((-3)));
}

For the mc "image":
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.picture, _x>3.6) {
setProperty (_root.picture, _x, -839);
}
setProperty (_root.picture, _x, _x-Number((-3)));
}

My problem is the swap depths of the 4 mc inside "image". Also i would like that the mcpicture stop to scroll when i press the button of any 4 mc...
Hope you will understand my english.... please help me... sono disperataaaa!!!!!

when the chair or lamp button is clicked you want the lamp to grow how big?..right now it goes off the screen...how big do you want it to get?..and from what i'm guessing from what you say (which is very hard to understand) is that when you click on the lamp button and it grows to the size you want it to, then you want to be able to click the chair button and the lamp mc dissapears while the chair mc is growing to that size?..and you have the mc's all in a scrolling slider...do you want the slider to stop when the mouse is over that buttton?..

i am afraid i'm going to have to pass on this one...maybe oldnewbie will give you a hand or wangbar...is very confusing the way you have everything...all i can say is for the buttons i would add a conditional statement that closes the previously opened mc before it open the new one clicked...you have everything in the slider all on one layer all opening up , none closing before the other is opened...your tweens aren't symbols?..how that is i don't know...i was going to say for when your lamp grows to be as huge as it does why not have it alpha tween to zero that way it is not covering up your slider?..but it's not a symbol so you can't?..must be that swapDepths thing i'm guessing, but i have never seen that so i appoligize...unless i'm missing something...which could be as well...

anyways i'm sure in your mind you have all good reasons for what you are doing but in my mind this all seems a little much...is your point of this to seel a product or amaze them with all this flash stuff...i think alot of people misunderstand flash ( yeh me, now i'm a theorist )and what it is for in alot of ways...if you are using this to sell a product don't let the flash over ride the product...use it to brighten up the scenery so to speak but not become the focal point...unless you are creating a site in which the main purpose is to sell flash designs, then by all means go at it...but this design you have seems to take away from the product your selling...if that's what your doing...

once again if i'm wrong then i appologize...just can't help on this one...over my head...
