Re: FLASH: Actionscript F5:swapDepths

[Scott Rouse]

It is not necessary to have duplicates to be able to swap depths....in fact

its not necessary to even have movies that are loaded to be able to swap

depths.  I say this because the text speaks of how only loaded movies have

levels beyond 0...All movie clips within the primary movie are all

considered on level 0, but I have a program right now that switches depths

between clips that are all on the main movie, level0.  I don't know what

level they are considered, I just used...


_root.yourbottomclip.swapDepths(_root.yourtopclip);


The bottom jumps on top of the other regardless of all being on level 0.
