Answer 1

Use addChildAt(index);

Answer 2

You want to experiment with :

setChildIndex(object, z-value)

This set the depth of the object on the stage.

swapChildren (object1, object2)

This exchange the position of two objects on the stage.

• setChildIndex
• swapChildren
• swapChildrenAt
• addChildAt
