Re: FLASH: Actionscript F5:swapDepths

[Craig Walker]

I've used the swapDepths a lot in my home page.  I'm not quite sure I

understand your question.  It is possible to swap depths of one movie clip

with another.  Or you can tell the clip what depth it should be.  Be careful

with assigning specific depths for a movie clip tho, if 2 clips have the

same depth, things show up weird.


I believe its possible to swap the depths of any movie clip as long as it is

given a name regardless if its duplicated or within another clip.  I hope

I'm on base with this answer.  I remember I had to goof around with it a lot

before I got it working.
