How do I determine/set the active layer of a graphic?

[William de Smet]

Thanks Craig,

In my opinion the problem still is that the two graphics are squares.
When I use the mouseloc I can set the layer of the graphic on top but only a
small part of the whole graphic is the clock arm:
"If the mouseloc is within the rect of grc ... ". But the actual clock arm
is set by the startangle of the grc.

Any suggestions on how to combine the mouseloc and the startangle of the
grc?

greetings,

William
