I´m trying to create a page with different buttons (=pictures of persons), which are aligned next to each other (Koolmoves 6.2). When going over a button by mouse a window is meant to pop up displaying information about the person on the picture.
My problem now is this: I´m having trouble with arranging the depth/layers of my buttons. I would like to have the popping up box always in front. However, it seems not to be possible to edit its depth independent from the buttons. So, I´m only having ONE button in front, my popping up boxes are always covered by buttons which are further in the front than the used on.
you can set the depth of your pop up window. Are you reusing a movieclip or is there one for each button? Source file would help. or at least an example file.i

Thank you very much for your effort! I tried already before setting the depth of the popup-window...however, it did not work an they still got covered by buttons
Here is an attachment with the problematic page...maybe you can help!
The problem you are having is that you are using the over state of the button so the behavior is what I would expect as the buttons depth is the order they are in the GUI.... You'll have to do some scripting to make this work..
I'm not sure you can use onRollOver on buttons so you may need to use movieclips instead.
Then rather than putting the extended info in the button lets make a seperate clip that you can show and hide then you can force it to the top with swapDepths().....
Or you could use just one movie and load the info into it when rolled over.
