What would my parentDisplayObject be if the objects were drawn directly
onto the stage? They are now in an object array and I am manipulating
them from there. I noticed that sometimes they drag behind other
objects though, so wanted to make sure they always be on top.
function startDragging(event:MouseEvent):void {
for (i= 0; i < count; i++) {
if (event.target == aButtons[i] ) {
trace("start dragging");
event.target.startDrag();
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
stopDragging);
}
}

It absolutely has: the whole display model has changed for the better.
Arguably the most understandable way to do it is a removeChild and
addChild
in succession.
parentDisplayObjectName.removeChild(childYoureMoving);
parentDisplayObjectName.addChild(childYoureMoving);
This works because addChild() puts the new object at the top of the
display
order.
The display object model is definitely worth doing a little reading on,
though.
