Shy Images

I've got a problem with trying to drag an image from one group to
another. The image seems to be behind every other object on the page.
What I have is a 4 x 3 grid of groups. Each group has an image, a
couple of text fields, and another small group of circles that look like
a traffic light.
What I'm trying to do is move the image from one group to another (this
represents moving inmates in a jail from room to room by the way). I
don't really even want to move the image. I just need to know the
starting group and the ending group. The rest I can do in script.
What's happening though is when I click and drag on the "source" image,
it starts moving just fine until it reaches the border of any other
group or even another field in it's own group then it disappears behind
it. I've tried setting it's layer to the number of controls (thanks
Markus!) but it didn't change anything. As I said above, I don't really
want to move the image (in the programming sense of the word), I just
want it to look like the user is dragging the image, capture the name of
the group that it was dropped on, then I'll move the picture myself.
Any ideas? Could I somehow duplicate the image I start with, make it a
top level image, and switch what Rev thinks it's dragging to that?
