:run: 
i have some movie clips duplicated, say ten, depths starting from 2, and i have an mc, on the root frame i put
mclip.swapDepths(1);
and nothing happens
i even tried
mclip.duplicateMovieClip(“mclip2”,1);
mclip._visible=false;
still nuttin
how to make the mc appear on TOP of other mc’s ?!?!?!?!
i hate this
well … ?
have you tried the actionscript reference?
well i noticed in flash that when you duplicate movies a lot, certain MCs get lost or replaced by others in the same depths. Try mc_clip.swapDepths(1000) to see what you get. The depth value of 1 is a little small for my comfort, and remember flash puts higher number depths closer to your eye.
Have it increment the depths. In the same Flash file I have needed help with, I am instancing a movie a few hundred times. So everytime you duplicate it, do something like mcDepth++ or whatever your depth variable name is.
LOL
i always thought that it puts smaller numbers closer to my eye like if the depth was 1 it was on top of everything
LOL
