Set variable for layer order (front/back)?
Can I change the the property of a layer to change its order from whatever it is currently to 'front' ("Arrange, Bring to Front"). I'm trying to make a button to become top of the layer stack on Hover.
Are you referring to what PowerPoint calls layers; the invisible transparency that every object resides on? In SL the layers are like adding a transparency to an overhead projector. Each of what SL calls a layer can have any number of objects and triggers on it. They have no useful order; they are either hidden, or the most recently shown layer is on the top.
The description you give sounds like the z-order of objects, and it cannot be changed while the project is playing, only in the development stage.
yes - the z-order is what I wanted to change and had hoped that was an addressable property/variable in play mode.
Thanks.
