Flash 8 layering problem?

[dstamper]

I have 12 movieclip buttons which each contain a question. When you click on one, the answer appears. I need the answer to remain on the screen. On that same frame, there's a button for "more information".

When that is selected, it goes to another frame within the mc, and more info appears. However, it is covered up by the other 11 buttons from the main screen.


I am attaching a fla file in case that makes more sense!

Thank you very much for any advice.

Main time line replace existing code with this...

stop();

var baseX = 212;
var baseY = 248;
var currentBtn;

var btns = [button1_mc, button2_mc, button3_mc, button4_mc, button5_mc, button6_mc, button7_mc, button8_mc, button9_mc, button10_mc, button11_mc, button12_mc];

for (var i in btns) {
	btns[i].begX = btns[i]._x;
	btns[i].begY = btns[i]._y;
	btns[i].onPress = function() {
		currentBtn = this
		currentBtn.swapDepths(0);
		currentBtn.gotoAndPlay("down");
		currentBtn._x = currentBtn.begX;
		currentBtn._y = currentBtn.begY;
	};
}

In the button movie clip, on the 'info1' frame, ACT layer...

stop();
this._x = _parent.baseX;
this._y = _parent.baseY;

I cannot thank you enough. I've been trying to figure this out for a week, driving me crazy.

This is great, thank you.
