it depends on how the rest of your code work but in this case you can do

this.swapDepths(-99)

this.swapDepths(-99)


// AS2
this.onPress = function ()
{
this.startDrag();
this.swapDepths(parentMC.getNextHighestDepth());
}

Incase anyone is looking to apply this effect to dynamically created movie clips put out on the stage, here is an example. It will bring any mc that is selected to the very top.

for (var i:Number = 0; i < 5; i++) {
//attachMovie without a target mc will put these on the stage
attachMovie("box_mc", "newBox"+(i+1), i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos});
}

_root["newBox"+(i+1)].onPress = function() {
//THIS being the selected mc, and root targeting the main stage
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}
