Accidentally discovered a workaround:
although you could not apply swapDepth to textField directly, you could do
it with help of mc dummy:
//text_txt - text field on a timeline
var newTFdepth = 1;
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("dummy", newTFdepth);
trace("1 t:" + text_txt.getDepth()) //traced: -16383
trace("1 mc:" + mc.getDepth()) //traces: 1
var oldTFdepth = text_txt.getDepth();
mc.swapDepths( oldTFdepth );
trace("2 t:" + text_txt.getDepth()); //traces: 1
trace("2 mc:" + mc.getDepth()); //traced: -16383

Subject: [Bulk] [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths
Hello everyone,
I'm using .swapDepths() on a textfield on the stage,
that was not created dynamically, but was placed there
from iside the Flash IDE.
It's depth doesn't change and it remains negative.
Is this how it should work?
Thanks,
Dimitrios
