Is I possible to move a text object between layers when an application is active? (through the events sheet).

It appears not but wanted to check if I've missed a trick.

Cheers,

Yes,

At any time you can call an action "Move to layer", it placed in the bottom section "Z Order".

Hi Yura G

Thanks for the hint. I had a check but it seems text boxes do not list this option. Guessing its not possible. Ashley?

I believe Text Boxes, as HTML form elements, will always float above canvas elements.

[quote:2bq01ku4]Form controls are actual HTML elements floating above the game canvas in the HTML page. Therefore, nothing can be displayed on top of a form control, apart from other form controls.
