swapdepths

[tweenerz]

HI,

I have 7 icons on the stage that, when clicked, will enlarge and go to the middle of the stage. What I am doing is swapping the depths to ensure the icon clicked is in the forefront (i.e. not behind other icons). The swapping is occuring correctly, but when I gotoAndPlay, it goes to the specified frame and stops. It won't continue playing. If I take the 'swapDepth' code out, it will play but other icons will be in front of it. Any ideas why swapDepth() causes flash to not play the movie and just simply stop at the specified frame?

function moveAnimal (a, f) {
        // first move current animal back into its place
        // and bring the empty movie to the forefront
	if (currentAnimal ne "") {
		_root.forefront_movie.swapDepths(currentAnimal);
	}
        // swap the desired animal with the empty movie in the 
        // forefront
	a.swapDepths(_root.forefront_movie);
	currentAnimal = a;
	gotoAndPlay (f);
}
