SWFDisplayItem->setDepth() — Sets z-order

### Description

SWFDisplayItem
void setDepth ( float `$depth` )
Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

swfdisplayitem->setdepth() sets the object's z-order to `depth` . Depth defaults to the order in which instances are created (by adding a shape/text to a movie)- newer ones are on top of older ones. If two objects are given the same depth, only the later-defined one can be moved.

The object may be a swfshape(), a swfbutton(), a swftext() or a swfsprite() object. It must have been added using the swfmovie->add().

### Return Values

No value is returned.
