Ordering click boxes in MenuBuilder
MenuBuilder lets you add click boxes, as well as other objects such as images and text, to projects.
If any click boxes overlap other objects, or vice-versa, it is important to set the stacking order to
control which objects appear in front of others.
Changing stacking order consists of moving objects to the back and front of the "stage." The key
point to remember is that objects at the back of the stage appear behind other objects.

Open the MenuBuilder project.

Right-click on the click box whose stacking order you want to change and select Bring to Front
2.
or Send to Back.
