My interpretation of the question was we want the depth of the added object to be lower than the object that is already on the stage. So I don't think the x coordinate is the answer.
So the first answer where Robert re-addChilds mc1 technically works in the simple situation, but if you have other objects on the stage, you'll start to mess up the depth order of your stage objects. I would recommend using addChildAt and setting the depth of mc2 to that of mc1's: this.addChildAt(mc2, this.getChildIndex(mc1)); That way, everything in the stack from mc1 + up is promoted instead of mc1 being popped to the top of the stack. -jonathan On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 1:56 PM, Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW) < [email protected]> wrote: > Look into getChildByName to get a reference to the MC on the stage, ie > getChildByName('instanceName').x. > > _ _ _ > Erik Mattheis > Senior Web Developer > Minneapolis > T 952 346 6610 > C 612 377 2272 > > Weber Shandwick > Advocacy starts here. > > PRWeek Global Agency Report Card 2009 - Gold Medal Winner > The Holmes Report Global Agency of the Year > PR News Agency of the Year > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] On Behalf Of natalia > Vikhtinskaya > Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 12:17 PM > To: Flash Coders List > Subject: [Flashcoders] Changing display index on the stage > > Hi > Is it possible to have mc1 manually placed on stage be over mc2 > created dynamically > mc2=new MovieClip(); > addChild(mc2) > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > -- -jonathan howe _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
