Re: [Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips
Yep! that did it Attaching the clips to a placeholder clip, rather than duplicating a clip already on the stage did the trick. I guess each movie clip has its own 'depth stack', so I can put as many duplicates as I want, and they are all where they should be, based on the placeholders position on the root depth stack.

RE: [Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips
Hi, Don't know if this would solve it, but I think one way would be to order your timeline like this: Toplayer: all my non-dynamic stuff Not-so-top-layer: dummyholder clip Now on mouse move you simply attach your clips to the dummyholder. Since the dummy holder is on a layer below the rest of your stuff, all should be ok.

[Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips
Greetings all, Hoping someone can help me out a bit in this conundrum here. I am trying to have a dynamically duplicated movie clip that is created whenever the user moves the mouse. When I have 'normal' values for depth (as in anything over 0), the code works perfectly, but I need this to be underneath all the content that is non-dynamic, and once i set the dept to negative, the movie stops working correctly. After a bit of reading, i found that the depth in duplicateMovieClip() is reserved from -16383 to -1 for author-time content, leaving the single value of -16384 to put dynamically created content underneath everything else. Is there any work around or trick (outside of puting the entire author time content into a movie clip and telling that to be at a specific, higher value) to 'free up' some more of that negative depth real estate?
