The layering of objects
Within the object layer of a card or background, buttons and fields overlap (appear on top of each other), depending on the order in which they were added to the card or background.
An object’s number, shown in its Info dialog box, reflects its position relative to the other objects of the same type—card button 2 is on top of card button 1, and so on.
Additionally, an object’s part number tells the absolute layering of a button or field within its domain (card or background). For example, if card field 1 is on top of card button 1, card field 1 has a part number of 2.
When you want to change the layering of buttons and fields within a domain, remember these points:
- Card buttons and fields always appear on
top of the card picture.
- Background buttons and fields always
appear on top of the background picture.
- Card elements always appear on top of
background elements.
- You may have to choose Bring Closer or
Send Farther several times before the
absolute order of fields and buttons
changes. While the part number of the
object changes each time you choose
Bring Closer or Send Farther, there may
be objects of another type that you need
to get past before the change of order
becomes visually apparent.
