Sometimes when I am working within the CS3 interface the layering of my windows/panels gets confused and so, for example, when I publish/test my swf, the swf opens up behind the actions panel, which I then need to minimize. But then sometime the properties panel might also be in front, or the output panel may decide it wants to open behind the swf, etc etc.  
I am know how to move and dock my panels and all, but how do I change and more importantly, lock the vertical ordering of these panels?
