So, I have the following layering situation

Stage

--moveclip1

--movieclip2
----movieclip3
------movieclip4

I was wondering if it was possible for movieclip4 to be on top of movieclip1, even though movieclip1 is (and must remain) in a layer on top of movieclip2.

This should happen when movieclip3 is being clicked (and movieclip4 shows up).

I tried adding this to the mouseclick event of movieclip4:

Code:
this.parent.parent.addChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
(I tried with and without "parent", and with different numbers of "parents"... cause I kind of lose counts of the parents there).

but... it doesn't work.

How do I solve this?

thanks!
