I think you should search an alternative solution. > I will think about an alternative solution as you suggest, but I would also like to continue to explore the concept of creating a "click hierarchy", with decorators at a priority corresponding to their established z-index.

Any help getting started with that would be appreciated. > Best, > Jonas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
