   I've got a layer with a sprite (let's call it sprite A) on it, plus a menu with CCMenuItemImages. I've got the z-order on Sprite A set way high, so the CCMenuItemImage sprites will be obscured by it. (The menu can move around in certain situations). However, I'm trying to pop the CCMenuItemImage sprites ABOVE Sprite A in other situations. I've tried [self reorderChild]ing the CCMenu, the CCMenuItemImage, and the [CCMenuItemImage normalImage], all with no luck. The menu images remain behind Sprite A.

   What can I do to get those menu images to pop above Sprite A?

   Thanks.

   reorderChild should work if both the menu and the other sprites have the same parent ([parent addChild:z])
   what is the menu parent? what is the sprite parent?

   I have the main layer, with Sprite A added as a child. Then I have a several menuItemImages added to a menu, which is added as a child to the main layer. I agree that this seems like it should work, but it's not for some reason.

   I need to call reorderChild on self from the main layer, correct? And I need to call it on the menuitemiamge? Or on the normalImage of the menuItemImage? (In fact, I've tried all these combinations, but nothing's working. Clearly I'm doing something wrong.)

   Thanks.

   So...
   It's like this:
   MainLayer
   --Sprite A
   --Menu
   ---MenuItemImage

   So if you are in MainLayer call:
   

   [self reoderChild:Menu z:(Something higher than SpriteA)];

   Or if you are referencing the layer from outside:
   

   [MainLayer reorderchild:Menu z:(Higher than SpriteA)];

   Are you sure that you haven't just got SpriteA on a z order that renders on top of the menu anyway?
