Change layer order by script

flash actionscript:
I have a bunch of embedded movies that are controlled by hidden buttons. I
would like to be able to adjust the stacking order or z-depth of the layers by
scripts to solve a design problem. What I've ended up with is if you roll over
button 3 the #3 movie zooms up to it's desired position on the screen and
plays. If you then roll over button 1 the #3 movie continues to play until the
end then zooms or scales down to it's place holder size while movie 1 is
scaling up and moving into position to play. The problem is that Movie 3 is
above Movie 1 so while 3 is continuing to the end and one is moving into
position you can't see movie 1 because it's covered by movie 3 until movie 3
scales back down and moves to it's proper position.

What I'd like to do is to force whatever movie I've currently over to move to
the top layer. Something like:
if (rollOver button1 ) {this movie on top} else {this movie in original
position}

Is this possible? Spent hours with the help files and searching tutorials with
no success.
