Example

The following code creates three clips and draws a line in each. The first line clip (red) is

created behind the second line clip (blue). Then the third line clip (green) is placed in the

red line clip’s depth, effectively replacing it. The

redline_mc clip’s depth is dynamically

determined via getDepth().

// Red line appears in back (depth 1)

this.createEmptyMovieClip("redline_mc", 1);

redline_mc.lineStyle(10, 0xFF0000);

redline_mc.lineTo(100, 10);

// Blue line appears in front (depth 2)

this.createEmptyMovieClip("blueline_mc", 2);

blueline_mc.lineStyle(10, 0x0000FF);

blueline_mc.lineTo(100, 0);

// Green line replaces red line, because it was created at redline_mc's depth

this.createEmptyMovieClip("greenline_mc", redline_mc.getDepth());

greenline_mc.lineStyle(10, 0x00FF00);

greenline_mc.lineTo(100, 10);
