Hi,
i am stuck with swapDepth over a timeline. i have 20 frames with labels inside an mc (called ‘site’) on the stage. i have a nav that jumps to the different labels inside site. on the keyframes, i have a some swapDepth stuff for sorting cards on the keyframe.
Problem is, i can’t clear the the mcs that have swapped depth when i jump to a frame before the current frame.
According to Sen, there is no fix for this!!! here is the link:
and the paragraph:
Another problem, which may not be so obvious, is that concerning depth-swapped timeline instances. If you use swapDepths to bring a movieclip which was placed on the timeline in Flash out of the timeline zone and into a** depth above 0**, then in a timeline refresh, that clip will not be removed in Flash’s clearing of the timeline instances and a new instance of that clip will be placed on the screen at its original depth, effectively duplicating it. Similarly, to avoid this, don’t do it. Again, its safe in controlled timelines, but otherwise, its risky. Something to be aware of nonetheless.
does anyone know a workaround? i can fix it i think by putting everything on 1 frame, but this is a LOT of work late in the project.
any help is really appreciated!
thanks
