I am stuck… i can not figure out how to get my depths correct.
http://www.murphyjahn.com/Copy%20of%20MST.html
if you click on the small icon to the right of the thumbnails you will see that the text field, when expanding, slides below the image. I want this to be reversed, but here is the problem.
The image is loaded onto the screen via a createEmptyMovieClip function… so its in an MC created dynamically…
the text field is loaded onto the stage via attachMovie… so its in an MC located on the timeline…
from what ive read, flash assigns lower depths to movies based in the timeline than it does for dynamically created MCs. So ive tried swap depths every which way i can. Ive tried adjusting the depths assigned at loading… nothing seems to work.
the only small wrinkles in this are that i can not assign a negative depth to the dynamic MC because it needs to be cleared. And also, the text field is located in an externally loaded SWF file. So i have a main file where the image holder is dynamically created and another SWF loaded into a MC which is located on the timeline of the main file.
This really seems like it would be a common issue… any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
This has to be a common problem with a simple solution im just missing… so any help would really be appreciated.
