Hi everyone,

I’m using this script to tile background in a stage and its works:

tileBG = function () {  
tile\_width = 34;  
tile\_height = 34;  
//  
x\_max = Math.round(Stage.width/tile\_width);  
y\_max = Math.round(Stage.height/tile\_height);  
//trace(x\_max);  
//trace(y\_max);  
for (x=0; x\<x\_max; x++) {  
for (y=0; y\<y\_max; y++) {  
bg = \_root.attachMovie(“square”, “bg”+x+y,this.getNextHighestDepth());  
bg.\_x = tile\_width_x;  
bg.\_y = tile\_height_y;  
}  
}  
};  
tileBG();

My problem is i created a blank movie clip instance to load a external swf file using this script and the loaded movie clip is behind the tile background:

\_root.loader.loadMovie(“pw-forum.jpg”);

Also, i encountered this either i load a swf file of place any objects in the stage.

Thanks in advance

You’ll have to use _\_root.tileHolder.getNextHighestDepth();_ since the depth in the current scope (_this_) doesn’t change when creating movie clips in another timeline.

thanks TheCanadian. Yes, it is \*\*\_root.tileHolder.getNextHighestDepth(); \*\*. Thank you.
