[Xerte] How to make perpetual button always on top

[Paul Swanson]

Yes, that worked! I had found the swapDepth method, but wasn't sure how
to use it.

Thanks Julian! Especially for replying at this late hour (for you, still
the lunch hour here in Portland, Oregon).

try giving the entry frame an id, and using myFWEnt.swapDepths(99); //or
some big number.
 
Without seeing what you are trying to do, it's hard to say if that will
work, but I've done that in some similar situations to good effect: it
will place the entry frame and it's contents in front of all other pages
on the framework.
 
Let me know if that works or not,

I'm trying to set up my own navigation controls, and I want to have a
table of contents button in the lower left corner of the stage. I've set
the interaction up in an Entry Frame attached to the Interface icon.
Works perfectly until I add a framework that covers almost all of the
stage. The framework navigation covers the perpetual TOC button. The
button can still be clicked, but you can't see it. I would like to keep
it always on top of everything else. Is there any way to force it to
always appear on the top layer?
