Unwanted mc instances - is it me?

[Pea]

hmm. Just had a look at your movie, and it doesn't look like thats exactly what
it does...

You have tried starting your levels for swapDepths at 500 or more? And ensure
they are unique for every swapDepths call?

Thanks for your input, Pea.
I created a global variable to maintain unique depths that I incremented each
time, ie

mc.swapDepths(currentDepth);
currentDepth +=1;

but the effect was multiple instances of EVERYthing I dragged (which I kinda
expected). What I want to do is dispose of the instance that seems to be
created when I swapDepth. I really just want to switch the z axis.

thanks again

HAH! I've got a workaround. Not pretty, but...

I created a mc with nothing in it, put it on stage and gave it an instance
name of "null". When I initialise, I null.swapDepths(500) and so far I can't
recreate my problem.

YAY!

how about _root.swapDepths ? and save yourself a null.
