display stage level issue when groups are involved

I’m running into an issue with toFront( ) and toBack( ) when using groups. When I put all of my display objects into a big group except one, then that one left-out display object can’t sit anywhere in the middle of the display stage stack. It can only sit on top of or behind all the other objects, even if I send particular grouped objects toFront( ) or toBack( ).

Is there any way around this??

I want to set my one little display object behind the other foreground images, but it needs to be in front of my background image (that’s also in the group). [import]uid: 10211 topic_id: 8637 reply_id: 308637[/import]

Problem solved. I found a workaround where I create a global background image that never moves or changes, and then I call this:

[lua]leftOutDisplayObject:toBack( )
_G[“vars”].background:toBack( )[/lua]

Not my favorite way to deal with things, but if it works that’s what really matters. [import]uid: 10211 topic_id: 8637 reply_id: 31131[/import]
