Also, don't use "on-clip" methods like
on (press) or on(release)
That's for non-coders who are making banner ads. Instead, put your code
in the timeline:
btn.onPress = function() {
//
};
btn.onRelease = function() {
//
};
You'll thank me for it down the line. It's never a good idea to put
code directly on buttons or movieclips. Always put your code on the
timeline where it's easy to find without having to click on all the
individual buttons/clips in your movie. There is no exception to this
rule, ever.
Also, the reason your code isn't working is because when you say
this.getNextHighestDepth(), you're referring to the depth INSIDE the
movieclip itself ("this" in an onPress method refers to the
movieclip/button - another reason to put your code on the timeline to
make things clearer). You need to refer to the movieclip's parent.
this._parent.getNextHighestDepth();
