Object layers

[Randy Hengst]

What if you set the layer of the group to top before ungrouping?
set the layer of grp "playerGroup" to top

ungroup grp "playerGroup"

But, why do you need to ungroup?

For example, you have a set of game buttons on the board, which you initially group to move them together, and then you need to ungroup them, and with sequential clocks you want to make sure the control is with a single button instead of first hitting the playboard squares, how do you make sure the buttons reside on top of the board.
