You can set the visual stacking order of objects visually via layers, you can set the visual stacking order of objects programatically via depth.

Can someone please expain the depth param for me.
I now have:
attachMovie("tabButton_mc", "newButton0_mc", 2, {label: 'one'});
newButton0_mc._x = 144.4;
newButton0_mc._y = 130;
attachMovie("tabButton_mc", "newButton1_mc", 3, {label: 'two'});
newButton1_mc._x = 50;
newButton1_mc._y = 50;
This works when having deferent depths, but not the same.

Hi Andrew, make sure you have set up the linkage on the component or movieclip by right clicking on it and choosing linkage, add a name and check export for actionscript. The use the attachMovie() method. When you attach it you add a new name in the arguments which you then use to reference the movieclip or component, so if you called it myCheckBox you can then assign properties to it like this: myCheckBox._x=100;
etc.
hope this helps. Jon

I am sure this is a real basic thing, but I am having troubles finding any help on it. I have a component (movie clip) in the library - how do I programmatically add an instance of it to th stage?
