Still working on 5 figures a year here (hey, it beats 4) and since I'm
tired of looking at swish and wretched movie clips that won't line up
right, I'll take a stab at your z-sorting thing. Three things I
noticed:

1) you don't need that eval
2) my programmer brain flinches at using a string for yes/no compares --
why not 1/0 or true/false (no quotes, not a string)?

Neither of those is causing your problem, but

3) duplicating a movieclip from inside a movieclip doesn't seem like the
right approach. Duplicating it from the main timeline, or some other
"base" rather than in the movieclip itself, seems like the logical
approach. But I haven't looked at the fla you mentioned from
praystation, so don't know exactly what you're doing -- that's just my
initial reaction to the code you posted.

Maybe someone else will have something useful to suggest...

Regards,
Helen
