Are you numbering the mc's according to dept? are you using any v2 components? When using the v2 components there are hidden resource movieclips that are placed on the _root (_level0) to handle things like depth management. These get placed at high depths so if you are using getNextHighestDepth() then it will be realy high like 1048578.
That could be an answer to your problem. But is that actually causing you a problem? Or did it just confuse you to see a large number like that but everything still works?

And the answer is NOT Listorine. I'm going a bit nutty here. I've got one major .fla which has a lot of birthing movieclips. I've been VERY careful not to do this at the root level, instead in it's own container, because it's supposed to be loaded wtihin another shell flash file... Well, I'm actually creating Textfields and lines within this container movieclip -- however for some reason when the main movie is loading in the shell something else is triggering some kind of load: OUTSIDE of the shell: TEXT SUB: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0.Group_0 TEXT SUB: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0.Name_1 TEXT SUB: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0.Price_2 TEXT SUB: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0.Description_3 DRAWLINE: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0 TEXT SUB: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0.Name_4 TEXT SUB: _level0.dispWindow.sub_0.Price_5 ...... But then when THIS .swf is loading into another shell (mainWindow being the container clip I'm using in the shell and mc_1 is thee above clip);... _level0.mainWindow.mc_0 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_0 _level0.mainWindow.mc_0 _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 _level0.mc_1048578 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 _level0.mc_1048577 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 _level0.mc_1048576 TEXT SUB: _level0.mc_1048578.dispWindow.sub_0.Group_0 TEXT SUB: _level0.mc_1048578.dispWindow.sub_0.Name_1 TEXT SUB: _level0.mc_1048578.dispWindow.sub_0.Price_2 TEXT SUB: _level0.mc_1048578.dispWindow.sub_0.Description_3 DRAWLINE: _level0.mc_1048578.dispWindow.sub_0 I can't for the life of me figure out what _level).mc_1048578, 1048577 and 1048576 is... _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
