Level of and object

[JidoJoe]

How can I change the levels of an object while tweening so that the back object which is being overlapped by the front object now appears in front of that object.

 

Thanks

by using addChild() on the back movieclip you will put it on the top of the display list

 

here is a very basic implementation

 

 

TweenMax.to(front_mc, 2, {y:"100", repeat:-1, yoyo:true});
TweenMax.to(back_mc, 2, {x:"100", repeat:-1, yoyo:true});

front_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendBack);

function sendBack(e:MouseEvent):void{
//move the back to the front
addChild(back_mc);
}

 

you can change the depths of the items being tweened and the tweens don't miss a beat.

 

there are many methods available to re-sort object depths in the display list.
