SWAP IMAGES...

[GellyBean]

Hi all,

I have 3 images...

I created 3 movie clips for each one (a_mc, b_mc, c_mc). It shows up as one behind the other, but what I want is to: click on the  movie clip that is shown as the last one (or the second one) and have it appear at the front (a swap with the first) with a nice transition.
 
Thank you all.

Kglad answer:

var mcA:Array=[a_mc,b_mc,c_mc];

for(var i:uint=0;i<mcA.length;i++){

mcA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);

}

function f(e:Event){

setChildIndex(e.currentTarget,numChildren-1);

}

// and you'll need to create your transition.

Hi, Kglad...

thank you for you Help. I think that I should not have post it this under AS3... because the answer to my question  actually is:

swapDepths

on (press, dragOver) {
    startDrag(_root.c_mc);
}
on (release, rollOut, dragOut) {
    stopDrag();
}
on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
    _root.x +=2;
    _root.c_mc.swapDepths(_root.x);
}

I'm still looking for the way to do it with a transition or effect.

(The effect I want is to see the transition from behind to front....)

I'm not completely sure what you're after here, but have a look at this example. Each of the movieClips stay in the same location, they just change depth. I added a simple fade animation for the transition. Feel free to adapt as needed.

Thank you, Rob. That's perfect!

or check into a carousel effect.  a narrow (or 0-width) carousel would make a nice transition.
