I've got an mc on _root that I use as an API drawing board. Now I've created a
button component that, when pressed, launches a scary Alert component saying
"Are you sure you want to delete your precious drawing? It was so good and
all...". The problem is that when the Alert shows, it's underneath the API
drawing.

Now the code for drawing is something like createEmptyMovieClip("draw_mc",
nextHighestDepth()) then draw_mc.moveTo(x,y)/lineTo(x,y) etc.

Why is it that if the Alert is called AFTER the draw_mc is created, that it is
behind all the drawings. Is API Drawing on the _root for some reason above all
other MCs on the _root? if so, how might I solve my problem?


Peace,
Ian
