thanks to tom and buzz. i tried it and it works.
now i'll figure out a way of keeping the sprite frontmost until rollovering
another one. it'll need some lingo, but if somebody has a shortcut, or an
idea, i would be glad to hear it. i imagine that with a movie script that
checks the mouseenter and orders the sprites' locz would be ok.
hope it doesn't takes loads of time.
