myTextField.filters = myFilters;
The following example changes the quality setting of the first filter in the array to 15 (this
example works only if at least one filter object has been associated with the
myTextField text
field).
var myList:Array = myTextField.filters;
myList[0].quality = 15;
myTextField.filters = myList;

getDepth (TextField.getDepth method)
public getDepth() : Number
Returns the depth of a text field.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Returns
Number - An integer that represents the depth of the text field.
Example
The following example demonstrates text fields that reside at different depths. Create a
dynamic text field on the Stage and add the following ActionScript code to your FLA or AS
file. The code dynamically creates two text fields at runtime and outputs their depths.
this.createTextField("first_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22);
this.createTextField("second_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22);
for (var prop in this) {
if (this[prop] instanceof TextField) {
var this_txt:TextField = this[prop];
trace(this_txt._name+" is a TextField at depth: "+this_txt.getDepth());
}
}
The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
