What I really need to do is bite the bullet and make some other layesr into slice layers. The ploscript string layer is probably the easiest candidate. That is drawn on top of almost everything, so when I have converted it, you will be able to do "set parent(sl, string layer)" and move your slices above the backdrop (actually, it would still probably be easies to put all your slices in a container, and then move the container wherever it needs to be) --- James _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
