    Default depth help!

    I have found discussions about depths, and swapping depths, but can;t find a
    definitive guide that shows how to use the swapdepths command. I have a drag
    and drop design tool that needs to be able to move the current item to the
    front of all other movie clips, regardless of whether they were swf's loaded
    into an empty clip, or created by duplicate movieclip

    I have tried several things, and during all attempts I have used trace to try
    and show me the current depth (using getDepth). In each case I get "[type
    Function]" instead of an integer. I was expecting something like -16000 for the
    basic clips, and starting at 1 for the duplicate clips (which I specify a depth
    for... or at least I think I do)

    1) is it possible to juet have ANY movieclip move to the front, regardless of
    how it was created
    2) does anyone have an example of the above

    Thanks in advance,
    Joh

    Never mind, the depth code works fine on the web server, it does not work within flash when testing with ctrl-enter ???
