Layer/ textArea problem

Hi :slight_smile:

I’ve got a pretty annoying problem concerning a TextArea.

I want my textArea to be sent at the back so a silhouette can be overlapping it

I’ve got a TextArea on one layer with this code :

aTa.move(356,390); 
aTa.setSize(585, 326);
aTa.setStyle( "borderStyle", "none" );
aTa.condenseWhite = true; 
aTa.editable = false; 
aTa.alpha=0.8;
addChild(aTa);

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); 
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("welcome.txt"); 
loader.load(request); 
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadcomplete); 
 
function loadcomplete(event:Event) { 
    aTa.htmlText = loader.data; 
   
}

and my silhouette on another layer.

I just can’t figure out if in order to get my silhouette over the textArea I need to do something with my layers or if I can add some code in my TextArea to send itself to the back …

Help would be really appreciated :thumb2:
