[away3d] Re: z-sorting issue with ownCanvas

[Peter Kapelyan]

That's because that's the way it works, basically. I'm not quite sure what
you are trying to do but I'll try to answer :)

What effect are you trying to achieve? That all the blue boxes come out of
the big orange one?
Or that orange one is always in back? If the orange one is always in back,
you can add the orange one to another view , and force it to always be
behind.

Also you can try to make your orange box not go too far back in depth, so
that it doesn't take over the other boxes in the same view, if that's what's
happening.

Let me know
