I had the same problem come up recently. I found a function in my DynAPI
mail archives, and modified it a little. Here's what I'm using:
// Original function by Gordan Bobic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// Modified by Dougal Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
function bringToFront(obj) {
var o
var top
var maxZ = 10
var minZ = 3
o = obj.parent.children
for (var i = 0; i < o.length; i++)
{
top = o[i].getZIndex()
o[i].setZIndex( (top > minZ) ? (top - 1) : minZ )
if (top > maxZ) maxZ = t
}
obj.setZIndex(++top)
// window.status = 'Set ' + obj + ' to z=' + top
}
// Bring guiWindows to front when clicked
function addFronter(winobj) {
var myFronter = new EventListener(winobj)
myFronter.onmousedown=function(e) {
bringToFront(winobj)
}
winobj.addEventListener(myFronter)
}
The "addFronter()" routine is a convenience function. That way all I have to
do in my main code is "addFronter(myLayer01)" and it creates the
EventListener and adds it to the layer.
The original brintToFront() didn't work right for me, because it didn't care
about how low the zIndexes went, and I already had layers stacked at certain
levels. I added the "minZ" variable and the "++top" in the final setZIndex
call to work around that.
This might be a good candidate for dynapi.ext.layer. Just make it a
little more generic by making minZ and maxZ optional parameters.
