Hello,
I’m looking for a way to check the depth on every each movie clip in a movie clip to know what’s the highest depth of all…
But the number of mc clip can vary depending on the situation. So is it possible to do something like:
check all mc in that mc and give me the depth of the “highest” objet.
The depth thing is not a problem here but to tell him to check all is a pb to me cause there’s no _._ command hehe

use a for…in loop
```auto
for(prop in myMovieClip){
trace(myMovieClip[prop].getDepth());
}
```
(you may need to add some checks to make sure prop is in fact a movieclip)

something like
[AS]for(var prop in myMC\_mc){
if(typeof myMC\_mc[prop] == “movieclip”){
// check whether i (counter variable is undefined:
if(!i){
var i = 0;
}
if(myMC\_mc[prop].getDepth() \> i){
i = myMC\_mc[prop].getDepth();
}
}
}
trace(i);
[/AS]
