Yup! Get the display list numChildren and subtract 1 from it. That's the number you want to set as the new index.

I would think the one on top would be 1.... I would love to just set it to 1 to make it come to the top and then reset it back to it's original number to put it back.... any thoughts.... ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Mynarcik [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 1:51 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] arranging Will getChildIndex and setChildIndex not work either for static objects? -----Original Message----- From: "Lehr, Theodore" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:38:39 To: Flash Coders List<[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] arranging the issue is that these are mcs that are NOT put there in as but in the IDE....

They will still have different indexes on the display list. Just do the same old stuff as usual. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
