Answered my own question.
private function linkBarToFront():void {
var target:DisplayObject =
mainPanel.getChildByName("linkbar");
var imageIndex:Number =
mainPanel.getChildIndex(target);
var target2:DisplayObject =
mainPanel.getChildByName("myViewStack");
var imageIndex2:Number =
mainPanel.getChildIndex(target2);
trace(mainPanel.getChildByName("linkbar"));
trace(imageIndex);
trace(mainPanel.getChildByName("myViewStack"));
trace(imageIndex2);
//mainPanel.swapChildren(target,target2);
mainPanel.setChildIndex(target, imageIndex2);
mainPanel.setChildIndex(target2, imageIndex);
}
I tried using swapChildren() but it complained that it needed to be
from the same caller?!? So, this worked and I'm going with it.
