I have a rollover triggers on the base layer "showing" other layers above. The problem is that when the layers are displayed they appear on top of the very top layer (11 of 11)? Why would they appear above a layer that is clearly at the top of the layer stack?
I built my own UI on the top most layer, and unfortunately discovered the lack of z-ordering. So my fix to keep my UI always on top was to add these 2 triggers to any loading layer. Hope that helps someone.
Thanks Richard for sharing that here - and I know others have requested that the set up of layers could be controlled, so you may want to share your thoughts in a feature request as well.

Hi David,
This is the way it works ! Last layer displayed appears on top of everything.
Have a look at this thread :

Thanks Pierre for sharing that thread!
David, as Pierre mentioned, this is by design - the layers appear as they are accessed, not just based on their order in the slide layer panel.
Got it. Thanks for the pointer Pierre and Ashley!

Hide layer UI When the timeilne starts
Show layer UI When time timeline starts
