Wow, thanks, all!
I'll look into all of these possibilities. Because of deadline
pressures I had to stretch my assets on the timeline now, and not use
much actionscripting, which sure is not very elegant and I hope there
are no bugs in it (luckily just a quick demo).

But for the final version I'll be using some of the above!

Thanks,

NIk

or you can also swap the depths of upper_mc and down_mc


MovieClip.swapDepths

*Availability*
Flash Player 5.

*Usage*

 |myMovieClip|  |.swapDepths(|  |depth|  |)|
 |myMovieClip|  |.swapDepths(|  |target|  |)|

*Parameters*
|target| The movie clip instance whose depth is swapped by the instance
specified in |myMovieClip| . Both instances must have the same parent
movie clip.

|depth| A number specifying the depth level where |MovieClip| is to be
placed.

*Returns*
Nothing.

*Description*
Method; swaps the stacking, or z order (depth level), of the specified
instance ( |MovieClip| ) with the movie specified by the |target|
parameter, or with the movie that currently occupies the depth level
specified in the |depth| parameter. Both movies must have the same
parent movie clip. Swapping the depth level of movie clips has the
effect of moving one movie in front of or behind the other. If a movie
is tweening when this method is called, the tweening is stopped.
