UI Builder Help

[bobfrapples]

The UI Builder has several frustrating aspects but none more so that manipulating objects in the design window. Is there a thread somewhere that has some basic instructions for the UI Builder?

Of particular interest is how does one bring forward an object that is hidden behind everything else? I'm trying to modify a map's icons and I get the red box over the space where the icon should be, but it is covered by the full-paned transition window and I have no idea how to move the transition window to one side or to the background. I tried using the z-order but that just moves it around in the tree view and doesn't seem to do anything in the design pane.

Thanks for any help. Maybe a sticky topic for UI Builder help would be neat.
