Don't do this

While coding Acion script try to specify targets precisely. This also refers to getNextHighestDepth(), otherwise it may not work. Dont waste you time :-)

Macromedia help suggests - this.attachMovie("circle", "circle1_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth()); - just don't be stupid and use something like -

StarMap.attachMovie("star", "star"+ starId, StarMap.getNextHighestDepth());
