Order of Displayed Files on Screen

[AVGuru1]

I have a several Text boxes plus images on severaa pages...and no matter where I move the image, the text box covers it up...I've tried locking the text box, sending it to the back, and sending the image box to the front, to no avail. The Z-Order doesnt seem to apply to this, given the fact these arent any of the file tyes that fall into the limitations. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Spent another hour on it, to no avail. Spent a good amount of time searching the FAQs, help files and this board...with out any luck! Admin?

You see, there are two kind of objects in AMS40. Windowed objects and non-Windowed. Non-Windowed objects are objects that actually drawn directly onto the AMS window's background. These include Image, Text and Hotspot objects. All of the other objects are Windowed objects. That means that each one is a seperate Window on top of the AMS Window. As such, they are drawn over top of the objects that are part of the background. Non-Windowed objects will NEVER draw over top of a Windowed object.
