flash actionscript: i have a movie clip on stage. how can i set or change the depth? anybody can help?

use the swapDepths() property of movieclips. for example, if you have a movieclip onstage with instance name mc1, to move it to depth 201 you could use:

thank you both

swapDepths

Be careful though, if you clip is one you've statically created at authoring
time on the stage/timeline. You can get into trouble if you try to
dynamically change the depth of objects that are statically created.

It is best to ONLY use swapDepths with clips dynamically created (eg via
duplicateMovieClip etc). And only use positive values for depths (don't use
negative ones that are reserved for statically created objects).
