I personally care about the ordering in code and not markup. (I’m using it to
temporarily bring active objects forward.)
Yes. z-order is a CSS property and it’s supported in JS.
I did not realize that depth was in UIComponent I thought it was a
DisplayObject property. That makes this much harde
Just so I'm clear, the issue is declaring z-order in MXML or in AS as
well? There is no "depth" property on flash.display.DisplayObject AFAIK.
If JS supports a zOrder CSS style, then FlexJS should as well. You can
add it to SimpleCSSStyles or create a new ZOrderCSSStyles. The SWF
implementation
This looks like a Bead candidate. I would take TextPromptBead as an example.
The zIndex is analogous to prompt, although you would probably want to update
the zIndex every time it’s changed on the bead, not just when the bead is
added. I’m not sure why it doesn’t work that way in TextPromptBead.
