I don't actually have a flash file with this situation, but if I knew how to do it it would certainly broaden my flash abilities _____ Alex

Would this work if the text was under a mask layer or had _alpha properties? _____ Alex

Alex is stumped and has been for a long long time about this _____ Alex

Is it possible to change other properties of a text field such as _alpha and _rotation using this script or a similar script? _____ Alex

I actually considered writing that nearly exact same script. Unfortunately I realised that my movie clips were all differently named. I'd have to make 'i' detect a variable in an array to be the name of the next clip to be tested and it would get too confusing and complicated lol _____ Alex

As long as it's working now I'm happy as... a leprechaun? (i unno) Finished script placed on the movie clip containing the clips that change in depth: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { movieClip1.swapDepths(movieClip1.Z); movieClip2.swapDepths(movieClip2.Z)...

I tried that way and it seems to not work too well. The clips kept flashing. I suppose I could've make it set a variable right after the swap so that it doesn't swap back but I only thought of that after I tried this: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { movieClip1.swapDepths(movieClip1.Z)...

What do I do.. onClipEvent(enterFrame){ swapDepth(Z); } (where Z is my depth variable) Like that? _____ Alex

Okay fine. It's done _____ Alex

I want three movie clips with variable Z in them to change depths according to their Z value. IOW: the one with the highest z would go in front, lowest would go behind them. How do I do this? Alex - Kawamoto fan

What version of Flash are you using? It wont let me open it with MX Alex - Kawamoto fan

Doesn't look like there's a problem on firefox, maybe it's just on IE Alex - Kawamoto fan

There. Alex - Kawamoto fan

Woot! (check out my signature)

Seems my action script skills are rusty... I used to know how to use arrays in functions Can you remind me how to use an array in a hit test function? (I wish I had a more up to date flash but I can't offord it lol)

I see what you mean and I will try it I beleive that you've inspired me to use hitTest in a completely different way for some things i've been trying to do. Do you think you could explain how I'd use the array though?

Diagram: // on stage: BOX MOVIE CLIP WITH CIRCLE IN IT // How would I write a script to see if the box and circle collide? (If possible, using shape flag)

This can also work using this script: //first frame gotoAndStop(random(s)+1); // Just replace s with the number of frames you want it to chose from

Totally works.

Oh one more thing // function detectCollision(what) { for (var s in this) { if (typeof (this[s]) == "movieclip") { if (s != what) { if (this[s]._x>what._x-50) { if (this[s]._x<what._x+50) { if (this[s]._y>what._y-50) { if (this[s]._y<what._y+50) { trace(s+" is...
