So this code is not what you are trying to do,correct? import flash.geom.Rectangle import flash.display.BitmapData
_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("rect_mc",-30000); _bdm = new BitmapData(300,200,false,0xFF0000); _mc.attachBitmap(_bdm,0); _mc.onPress = function(){ trace("removing") this.removeMovieClip(); } Can you send me a sample file that reproducing the bug? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dimitrios Bendilas Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 10:34 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths I don't have the option to create the textfield dynamically. So I have to put it there from the Flash IDE and it automatically gets a negative depth, like all instances that are created this way.

Tom, in order to remove the textfield, as you say, you will have to swapDepths() first, which unfortunately doesn't work on TextFields. That's why I started this thread in the first place. I just found this suggestion in a forum: TextField.prototype.swapDepths = MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths; A little hack that lets you swap textfields. Didn't try it yet but I guess it works. Do you all think it's something I wouldn't mind putting in? Or is it too dirty? I think it's ok.
