getNextHighestDepth problem

1. are you using any components? if so, which?

I am not using any componets.

2. you can manage your own depths by using a variable to track and assign the current greatest depth.

How do you assign your a variable to track and assign the current greatest depth?

3. on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay(2);} is your rollOver code where you should be swapping depths.

If this is where I need to swap depths, how does it need to be declared? What does the code look like?

This is what i put after on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay(2);
}

on (rollOver) {mark.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}

thanks for your help

"movieclip.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth()); will work unless you're using a v2 component. in that situation you'll need to use the depth manager or manage the depths yourself."

How do I know if I'm using a v2 component? And If I am how do I manage the depths myself?

"that swapDepths() method should be executed on rollOver. "

I do not have a rollOver command in the movie clip button . this is how my movie clip zooms in and out of it's.



in the actions layer, Frame 1 I have a stop action. On Frame 7 I have a stop action on Frame 11 I have a gotoAndStop(1); action and at Frame 12 I have stop command. This is basiclly a movie clip that acts like a button.

If I place a rollOver command on the movie clip it will not work.

You've help me in the past kglad, I appreicate all the help!

*********************************************************************************************************************************
This is the code I have on the button inside the movie clip. How do I get it work to swap the depths. I've tried this but it makes the movie clip go zoom in and out endlessly when I mouse over.

Here is my code for the button.


//tells this MC to play frame 2 on roll over
on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay(2);
}


//tell this MC to play frame 8 on roll out
on (rollOut) {gotoAndPlay(8);
}

//tell this MC to stop at frame 16 on release which
// disables the button because the button is not on frame 16.
// Checks to see if the other buttons have stopped at frame 16,
// if so, then play the roll out effect from frame 8,
// if not, don't do anything at all


on (release) {_cabodraft.gotoAndPlay(19);


if (_root.butt1MC._currentFrame == "15") {
_root.butt1MC.gotoAndPlay(7);
}
if (_root.butt3MC._currentFrame == "15") {
_root.butt3MC.gotoAndPlay(7);
}


//changes the contents of "statusBox"
_root.statusBox.text = "BUTTON 2 PRESSED"
}
on (rollOver) {.getNextHighestDepth();


}
