[flexcoders] Re: LinkBar Always On Top?

[hammer995]

Answered my own question.

private function linkBarToFront():void {
                                var target:DisplayObject = 
mainPanel.getChildByName("linkbar");
                                var imageIndex:Number = 
mainPanel.getChildIndex(target);
                                
                                var target2:DisplayObject = 
mainPanel.getChildByName("myViewStack");
                                var imageIndex2:Number = 
mainPanel.getChildIndex(target2);
                                
                                trace(mainPanel.getChildByName("linkbar"));
trace(imageIndex);
                                
                                trace(mainPanel.getChildByName("myViewStack"));
trace(imageIndex2);
                                
                                //mainPanel.swapChildren(target,target2);
mainPanel.setChildIndex(target, imageIndex2);
mainPanel.setChildIndex(target2, imageIndex);
}


I tried using swapChildren() but it complained that it needed to be
from the same caller?!?  So, this worked and I'm going with it.
