You control "depth" by the order in which the display object appears in the display "tree".
To adjust to order, you need to remove and re-insert the child object using something like this: this.addChildAt(this.removeChildAt(1),0); The remove statement pops the item out of the display list, returning a reference to it, then the add places it back in. If I'm mistaken about the ordering then it might be: this.addChild(this.removeChildAt(0)); This takes the first child and puts it at the end.
