FLASH: Actionscript F5:swapDepths

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi all,


Has anyone tried using the swapDepths in Flash 5? Is it only possible to

swap the Depths of movie clips that are duplicates of the same instance

(this is what it seems to say in the reference documents)? Or is there a

way to swap the depths of two movie clips that are within another clip,

but aren't duplicates?

I think I'm confused over the use of the term 'parent movie clip'. I've

seen it being used as referring to a master MC which you make duplicates

from, or as an MC that contains nested MC's. Which is the correct

definition in Flashspeek?


Cheers!


paul
