  Does anyone know how to control the z-axis of objects?

Here's a very short code snippet to illustrate my question:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">
<mx:VBox id="vboxRed" backgroundColor="red" width="100"
height="100"/>
<mx:VBox id="vboxBlue" backgroundColor="blue" width="200"
height="50"/>

</mx:Application>

In the above, vboxBlue was instantiated after vboxRed, and hence,
appears on top of vboxRed. How can I, during runtime, make vboxRed be
on top of vboxBlue?

Thanks.
