Ok, so I tried using the setDepthAbove, and setDepthBelow methods, to no avail.  I tried firing them on application initialize, and application creation complete, to no avail.

 

I made two method calls myObject.setDepthAbove(myOtherObject), and myOtherObject.setDepthBelow(myObject).  It still pushes myOther object out of the way.  Are there any precautions/best practices for this method?

 

Thanks again.

Subject: [flexcoders] setting a z-index

 

Hey everyone, I’m trying to create a customized sort of ComboBox.

 

Essentially it’s a button, that when clicked, will set visible a list directly below it(using some kind of effect, probably a resize from 0-x).  I could use a combobox, but the appearance of this component is way different than how a combobox looks(no arrow, and icons instead of text), so I had to do it this way.

 

The problem is, when the list show, it moves everything else on the screen, so I was wondering if there was some kind of z-index(or substitute), that I could manipulate to make this behave more like a combo box.  If a combox can behave in this manner, where when it opens, it doesn’t push everything out of its way, then there has to be a way for this to be done.

 

 

Any help, or pointers to help will be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

 

Nick
