Hello!

Would like to also have the option of adding a custom code footer, along with the header.

I am working on some tricky script and just had this thought...

Hi Stacey,

Keep in mind that you can set the order with which objects are placed into your HTML code - do you need to be able to place code below the Body tag?

Hello Derry! Thanks for the reply. I don't need to add anything below the body tag, I double-checked. But, I do have snippets of code I am having trouble with, so will keep playing around with it. I think it's my understanding that needs to be improved - we shall see.

One thing I do wish we could do faster, is moving the sprites forward and backward more easily. It can become a time consuming process in those "middle layers", and I am missing the drag into place feature I'm used to from Adobe.

I don't know how to make it better, but I know I need a faster way of moving the objects. With many objects on the page, and not knowing exactly where each one is, you can sit there for a while moving one item forward or back to where you need it.

This is my only idea so far!

Hi Stacey,

As I mentioned, you can move the code object (or any object for that matter) to any place in the html document by setting it's 'z-order'. So, if you have some code you want to place near the bottom of the html, you would click on the code and then the 'to back' icon. You can view where it is within the html document by clicking on the Code View (top tool-bar). Then click an object and click either the to-front or to-back icon, then click the 'refresh' icon in the Code View - you should see your object move either up or down the page.

I understand about your problem with determining the placement of objects on the page. One option we are considering is having a graphical representation that would show you where the object is in relation to other objects, and then have the ability to move it. Of course we are always open to other ways if you have any suggestions.
