I tried playing around with the this.switchdepth but it didn't work. Any other suggestions?

This is the first movie clip code - calling out the other movie clip

for (i=0; i<=600; i++) {
	_root.attachMovie("digit", "digit"+i, i);
	this["digit"+i].the_depth = i;
}

This is the second code

//var text_array:Array = Array("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "x", "y", "z", "?", "<", ">", "!", "`", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", "-", "+", "|", "/", "=", "_", ",", "[", "]", "{", "}", ":", ";");
var text_array:Array = Array("0", "1","3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "x", "y", "z");
text_box.text = text_array[random(text_array.length)];
//
var matrix_position:Array = Array();
//
counter = 0;
counter_limit = random(5)+3;
//
for (r=0; r<=Stage.width/this._width; r++) {
	matrix_position.push(r*this._width);
}
this._x = matrix_position[random(matrix_position.length-0)];
this._y = random(Stage.height-this._height);
this.speed = random(8)+4;
rand_scale = int(random(100));
this._alpha = rand_scale;
this._xscale = rand_scale;
this._yscale = rand_scale;

//
this.swapDepths(rand_scale);
//
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
//
var filter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x00ccff, rand_scale+10, 5, 5, 0.5);
var filterArray:Array = new Array();
filterArray.push(filter);
//
var filter:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter((100-rand_scale)/10, (100-rand_scale)/10);
filterArray.push(filter);
this.filters = filterArray;
//
//
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	/*
	// letters change during animation
	counter++;
	if (counter>counter_limit) {
	text_box.text = text_array[random(text_array.length)];
	counter = 0;
	}
	*/
	this._y += speed;
	if (this._y>=Stage.height+this._height) {
		this._y = 0-this._height;
	}

};

there is no 'the_depth' property to be setting.

In AS2 you should use the 'swapDepths' method.

note:

Parameters

target: Object - This parameter can take one of two forms:

A Number that specifies the depth level where the movie clip is to be placed.
An instance name that specifies the movie clip instance whose depth is swapped with the movie clip for which the method is being applied. Both movie clips must have the same parent movie clip.

Here is the AS2 reference, bookmark it:

Always enclose your code within code tags.

ode tags.
