SwapDepths and LoadMovie

programming flash
1

I have a main movie with 5 buttons that launch seperate .swf’s (loadMovie).

They are draggable, but I can’t get the swapdepths to work.

Main movie button 1:

on(release){
	loadMovie("pop1.swf", 40)
}

Main movie button 2:

on(release){
	loadMovie("pop2.swf", 41)
}

popup 1:

on (press) {
	_root.pop1.startDrag();
	_level0.mydepth += 20;
	_root.pop1.swapDepths(_level0.mydepth);
}
on (release) {
	_root.pop1.stopDrag();
}

popup2:

on (press) {
	_root.pop1.startDrag();
	_level0.mydepth += 20;
	_root.pop2.swapDepths(_level0.mydepth);
}
on (release) {
	_root.pop2.stopDrag();
}

I attached my .fla’s

Just wanted to add that I followed Kirupa’s and a few other tutorials, but couldn’t get it to work…

Any thoughts?

is it a _level issue?

Levels are something different as depths.
I’ve changed the code a little, the swf are now loaded in empty mc’s

on(release){
	box1.loadMovie("pop1.swf")
}

and the code in pop1:

on (press) {
	this._parent.startDrag();
	_level0.mydepth += 20;
	this._parent.swapDepths(_level0.mydepth);
}
on (release) {
	this._parent.stopDrag();
}

Thank You,

Works perfect.

If anybody needs a swapdepths sample using loadmovie, download scotty’s zip file above this post.

the swap depth work but when you close the popups the buttons disappears.

You’re right, I never looked at the close button:stunned:
Replace the code on the button with this one

on (release) {
	this._parent._visible = 0;
}
