I'm getting this error Scene=Scene1, Layer=Layer 3, frame=1, Line1
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
shape.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
i'm using this code:
shape.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
//shape is a movie clip
stop();
this.attachMovie('bcPlayer','bcPlayerInstance',this.getNextHighestDepth());
//bcPlayerInstance._xscale = 75;
//bcPlayerInstance._yscale = 75;
bcPlayerInstance._y = -50;
bcPlayerInstance._x = -5;
//bcPlayerInstance is a movie clip
please help anyone knows what i'm doing wrong |

swapDepths does not take a number, it takes another movieClip reference.

Actually swapDepths can take either a moveclip or a number. That isn't the
problem.
The problem is that you put the code directly on a movie clip and not on a
timeline. Select the "shape" instance and bring up your Actionscript window.
Then click off the shape (and make sure you don't click on anything else except
empty stage.) Then select the frame in your timeline where you want the code.
You will know it is correct because at the top of the actionscript window it
will say Frame. Then paste your code. |

So it can! Sorry, just never used it with anything besides a clip ref, and
even then I really don't use it much as I like to keep track of things
myself.
Thanks
