Property summary for the DepthManager class
The following table lists the properties of the DepthManager class. The constant values shown
are the default values that the DepthManager algorithm uses to arrange depth. If you trace the
following properties, you will see those constant values in the Output panel.
However, after you implement a DepthManager method, such as
DepthManager.setDepthTo()
component or movie clip depth, you see that DepthManager sets the depths in increments of
20. The algorithm increments depths in case Flash needs to insert something else in the
middle, based on other scripts, components, and so on.
