How? Bring hidden text boxes in front of graphics

[mjstone323]

Hi again!

I bet (I hope) this is something easy to fix.

I'm trying to build a simple little guestbook. I've created a graphic that I want to appear to surround my text boxes. (In reality the text boxes should hover over the graphic.) I've started to insert my text boxes (on their own level) - when I type them they're on top of the graphic (which is on its own level) but when I finish they've disappeared. I moved the graphic out of the way & lo & behold there they're hiding behind it.

I've tried sending the graphic "backwards" & "to the back" but haven't been successful yet. Any ideas how to fix this? BTW - I had this problem with a previous .swf, but somehow it mysteriously worked itself out... don't know what I did. :-(
Thanks!

This must be a record -

I had another idea & it turned out to work - I moved the layers the graphics were on to the bottom of the "layers" pile. Way too easy. Well, hopefully it'll help someone!

You have learned a valuable lesson obviously... one I had to figger out as well a long time ago;-)

It does matter how you stack the layers... good job! Ya' Gotta Love It!

My little ladies... my wife caught them in that pose and snapped it... btw... they were actually asleep like that as it was very early in the morning and they were waiting for me to leave for work so they could crawl under the covers with her.;-) Ya' Gotta Love It!
