Storyline - Shapes / Bring to Front

In SL when an object has an entrance animation, SL promotes it onto a separate rendering layer during playback that sits outside the timeline stacking order. So if your rectangles animate in but your arrows don't, or they animate at different times, the animated objects display independently of the "Bring to Front" order you've set.
You could give the rectangles the same entrance animation as the arrows so they're on the same layer. Or you could group them to animate as one object.
The z-order should be maintained in your animations based on the order in the timeline, unless you are used javascript/AI animations, you can fix by using JS to change teh stacking order
