The following example demonstrates text fields residing at different depths. Create a dynamic text
field on the Stage. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or AS file, which dynamically
creates two text fields at runtime and displays their depths in the Output panel.
this.createTextField("first_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100, 22);
this.createTextField("second_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22);
for (var prop in this) {
if (this[prop] instanceof TextField) {
var this_txt:TextField = this[prop];
trace(this_txt._name+" is a TextField at depth: "+this_txt.getDepth());
}
}
When you test the document, the instance name and depth is displayed in the Output panel.
