Flex Examples
The following example shows how you can reorder a stack of Spark Bitmap controls in Flex 4 by setting the depth property (formerly the layer property).
The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/. To download the latest nightly build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.
For more information on getting started with Flex 4 and Flash Builder 4, see the official Adobe Flex Team blog.

This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.

Hi Peter,
I just tried this example, but I could not find property “depth” in BitmapImage class.
Even in documentation I didnt find anything.

What class are you using? Do I need update my SDK (I am using default Flex 4.0 SDK)?
