Change the stacking order of AP elements

Use the Property inspector or the AP Elements panel to change the stacking order of AP elements. The AP element at the top of the AP Elements panel list is at the top of the stacking order, and appears in front of the other AP elements.

In HTML code, the stacking order, or z‑index, of the AP elements determines the order in which they are drawn in a browser. The higher the z‑index of an AP element, the higher that AP element is in the stacking order. You can change the z‑index for each AP element using the AP Elements panel or Property inspector.

    A line appears as you move the AP element, indicating where the AP element will appear. Release the mouse button when the placement line appears in the desired place in the stacking order.
