Managing depth in actionscript3

Question

I have a 3D field with many MovieClips in it, and seems like the one last added is the one that overlaps others and not the one with highest z value.
Is there any property/function that sets z-index? (sorting children by z value seems too much like a hack).
A 3D engine that can place MovieClips will be helpful(but not one that requires custom drawing).
I'm using Flash CS5 with ActionScript 3
