I have a DepthManager that will take care of this. It adds the .swapDepths()
method to TextField and Button. More specifically, it replaces the
MovieClip.removeMovie() and TextField.removeTextField() methods so that they
work at whatever depth.
The DepthManager is self-instantiating, but you have
Accidentally discovered a workaround:
although you could not apply swapDepth to textField directly, you could do
it with help of mc dummy:
//text_txt - text field on a timeline
var newTFdepth = 1;
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip(dummy, newTFdepth);
trace(1 t: + text_txt.getDepth())
and discussion.
Regards,
Dimitrios

So this code is not what you are trying
swapDepths can only be applied to movieclips. Put the textfield inside a
movieclip and then apply swapdepths to that.

Hello everyone,
I'm using .swapDepths() on a textfield on the stage,
that was not created dynamically, but was placed there
from iside the Flash IDE.
It's depth

Dimitirios,
Have you considered loading a blank movieclip into the textfields depth
then removing the movieclip? Loading the mc into that depths should
clear that depth then removing the mc should clear that memory

i dont think removeMovieClip or swapDepths works if the object is on a
negative level

WOW!
I never knew Flash would not remove _mcs with negative depth. I just
tried it and it and it won't work. I guess you learn something new
every day.
import flash.geom.Rectangle
import flash.display.BitmapData
_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(rect_mc,3);
_bdm = new

someone posted a function the other day on here that means you can remove
