[Flash8] Can't even set the text in a simple Label component

programming flash
1

The following code should work fine, but I’ve grown to realize that when working with flash components, things often don’t work like you think they should. All I am trying to do at the moment is make the stupid thing visible (set the text for the label, because I know that with no label they will not be visible): ActionScript Code:

I’m just a tad bit frustrated :wink:

[COLOR=Orange]** UPDATE:**[/COLOR]
I replaced all of the "getNextHighestDepth"s with numbers (starting the numbering at 0) and everything showed up. Turns out the label code was working, but the label was getting replaced by the next component called in the code because they were all at the same depth. I thought getNextHighestDepth() was supposed to prevent this!
