The DepthManager doesn't have a static initialize method like EventDispatcher.
Methods are added to the MovieClip prototype in the DepthManager class
constructor, so you have to make sure the DepthManager gets
compiled into your swf and that it's constructor is run before you use it's
methods.
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
import mx.managers.DepthManager;
class TestCase extends MovieClip {
private static var __mixin = EventDispatcher.initialize(TestCase.prototype);
// declare EventDispatcher methods
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
// make sure DepthManager gets compiled
private static var __depthManager:DepthManager;
// declare DepthManager methods
public var createClassChildAtDepth:Function;
public var createChildAtDepth:Function;
public var setDepthTo:Function;
public var setDepthAbove:Function;
public var setDepthBelow:Function;
public var findNextAvailableDepth:Function;
public var shuffleDepths:Function;
public var getDepthByFlag:Function;
public var buildDepthTable:Function;
public function TestCase() {
}
private function createCard(index:Number):Card {
var card_mc:Card = this.createClassChildAtDepth(Card,
DepthManager.kTop);
return card_mc;
}
}
May have some errors in code as I quickly wrote it down, not tested.

Muzak
