I have developed a series of draggable menus to navigate through a website (these are for a client so I cannot publish the files here, sorry!). This was originally being published in Flash Player 6 and worked perfectly, clicking on each menu would swap the stacking order so that whichever menu you click on moves to the top layer. This was achieved using the “_parent.swapDepth(++_root.depth)” command. I am now trying to publish this same site using Flash Player 8 to incorporate some of the newer filter effects. When published in the new player, the ++_root.depth command seems to be faulty. Clicking on a menu will still bring it to the top of the stacking order, but it also makes the other menus beneath it shift stacking order as well. This is very strange and was not a problem with the previous Flash Player. I have tried every alternative form of code imaginable, and this is still the case. Has anyone else had similar problems with these lines of code? Thanks for your attention!
Hi, I experienced the same problem. I never liked the idea too much so after I saw a that I just avoided swapping depths. So unfortunatley I didn’t look into it far enough to provide you with any answers. Just that it happens
