    Stack order?

    I'm experimenting for the first time with stack order in flash. I'm not sure if that's the right term for it, maybe Z order? What I mean is I want one object to start off behind another and then move on top of it. Specifically I'm creating a menu that I want to have a 3d feel, the menu items would rotate from the foreground to the backround of the menu. Since I don't know what the right term is for this effect I don't know what to search for on the site for examples of how to create this. Can anyone point me to any tutorials or example fla's.

    Thanks for the example, but it didn't really help my problem. At least I can't figure out how to apply it to what I want to do. Here is my attempt at the effect I want to create. It's probably not the best way to do it. As you can see when the object in the background comes to the foreground it's still underneath. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance
