Moving an object to the foreground when it is dragged

Hello,
When in run mode, it's very easy to drag an object using "grab me".
However when to object is dragged over another object, sometimes it goes on top, and sometimes it goes under.
Is there a way to move an object on top of everything (topmost) when dragged ?
Thanks in advance
Félix

Hi Felix

Yes, you can set the layer of a object.
If the owner of your object is a group you have to know what is the layer of last object of the group and that should be the max top layer you can use
Best regards

Splendid ! Many thanks.
I thought HyperCard was simple.
LC is even more simpler.
on mouseDown
set the layer of me to top
grab me
end mouseDown

Part of the reason for that is that HyperCard only has 2 layers: foreground and background, while
LiveCode has as many as the number of objects on a card (each object is in its own layer).
Not very helpful at all.
