hi i am in the middle of making a flash rpg and i am starting out with tiles i was using some code i found on here now i am stuck i think the code i have been using is for MX 2004 not MX which is what i have so i was wondering if there was a subsitute for the code

this.getNextHighestdepth()

if u want to know what the code fully is its the rpg programming under actionscript page 6

mvWdth = 320;  
mvHght = 320;  
tileWdth = 16;  
tileHght = 16;

please anyhelp people can give me would be appricianted i need to figure out what i am doing wrong or if there is a subsitute for the .getNextHighestdepth() code

Im using Macromedia Flash MX not Macromedia Flash MX 2004 just so you know

well i shall be waiting thanks in advanced
