Re: [Flashcoders] Beware of depth 9876
That is right, and you could add that he problem will disappear in AS3 with the new depth managing system. I still think it might be good to know that a Component Class occupies and erases clips in a specific depth in root. Thanks anyway /Eskil Michael Bedar skrev: In general it is a good idea not to work on the root level for anything making movieclips... much better to create a container clip first on root and play in that.
