Hi All,

For debugging when running on my iPad, I like to drop a multi-line label named "log", and have the following:

on log txt
  if exists(field "log") then
    put txt&cr before log
  end if
end log

on errorDialog sE,sP
  log sE&"|"&sP
end errorDialog


This is great and all, at least it's easy to type and shows that there is an error.

However, if the log is on top of stuff on my card, it blocks events getting to lower items. If the log is behind the stuff on the card, it's obscured.

I have tried grouping the bulk of the things on the card and setting the blend of the group to 40 (and putting the log item behind everything else), and that serves the purpose, but the card doesn't look as it would in real life.

I have also tried handling mouse events on the label like this:
on mouseDown nNum
  pass mouseDown nNum
end mouseDown

...but no joy.

Ideally, I'd like a way to be able to say that this label is on top, but it doesn't get any mouse events.

Thanks,

-Ken
