Regarding Z-order in QML

[krishkn]

How would i increase the z-order of an image dynamically ? I tried by increasing z ,but didn't work . any other way of doing it so that i can manually control Z-order of two images when a state gets changed ?

Thanks

Are those two elements siblings? Could you post an excerpt of your qml code?

z works. in most of cases) so, the code

Z-order works for me, a simple sample

@
import Qt 4.7

Item {
width: 200
height: 200

Rectangle {
    id: red
    z: 1
    color: "red"
    width: 100; height: 100

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: red.z = blue.z + 1
    }

}

Rectangle {
    id: blue
    color: "blue"
    x: 50; y: 50; width: 100; height: 100

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: blue.z = red.z + 1
    }
}

}

Old topic, but not answered...
The z property of Item determines stacking order of sibling items, i.e. elements belonging to the same item.
Hence you cannot use the z property to move a child of parent A on top of (a child of parent) B if B is on top of A. (Which is a pity/pain :-))
