RE: FLASH:Psuedo 3D effect question + F5 wish

[Victor Villen]

I think changing level is the only way of changing the z-depth of MCs...


If u want to exchange levels between 2 MCs, u can always set a MC to a

higher level (temporal), set the level of the other one to the old level of

the updated one and then set the level of the top MC to the old level of the

other (i'm going crazy!!!! =P)


Guess it's not understandable the way I explain it...


Anyway... Someone told me Flash5 has z-depth exchange function... :)


Let's wait.


Bye
