I have an easing scrollbar component in my Flash document that always appears in the foreground, regardless of what layer its on (screenshot attached).

Looking around the Web, I figure that I have to somehow manage the depth of the component, but I can’t figure out how.

What’s the easiest way to script the depth of a component so that it doesn’t cover the topmost layer of my presentation?

Thanks.
