relayering groups within groups

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Terry,

it's hard to see from here...

waht you could do is work with a reference to the owner of the group being 
dragged.

Extract the group to the visible top layer (or hide the cloned group, 
clone it again on top above all else)
once the drag finished, put it back in to the old owner....

Would that work?
cheers
Xavier
