relayering groups within groups

[Terry Judd]

Hi Xavier -  the object I want to relayer is is a clone of a subgroup 
of the parent group. When it's created it automatically belongs to the 
parent group (so far so good). The relayering comes about because I 
need to drag (any of) the subgroups about and the target group needs to 
be brought forward so that isn't lost behind other subgroups during the 
drag. The parent group contains both individual controls and groups and 
so far the only thing I've been able to get even vaguely working is to 
have one or more individual controls at the 'bottom' of the group and 
set the layer of all subgroups to the layer of the topmost of these 
'bottom' individual controls in a repeat loop making sure the target 
subgoup is 'relayered' first.

Seems like a horrible hack to me.

Cheers,

Terry...
