>>this.empty.swapDepths(this.empty); You're telling a movie clip to swap depths with iteself. So that does nothing.
When you say, "Above the other layers" then yeah, like I said, object manually put on the stage, like things in layers are negative depths. You have to swap THOSE objects above others in order for them to be on top. What you tried to do was just move the same clip that is on top to an ever higher level (or at least, the same level it's already at). I don't mean this to be condescending, but you might want to move this to Flashnewbies - some people here (not necessarily me) prefer this list to be for intermediate or higher level Actionscript questions. Flashnewbies was set up for questions like this.
