Send part of background to front?

Hi guys,

I have a fish sprite on my title page, and a lake. I want the fish to look like it's coming out of the lake. Is there a way to bring the background to the front for a specific box area I select?

The lake is just above the bottom of the screen but not quite, so I want the area of the background under the lake to be at the front so the fish is 'invisible'.

Is this possible?

Thanks heaps!

I would do something like :

set fish (z order) to bottom

if fish.Y < required height then move fish (z order) to top

So that would send the fish to the back until Y reached a specified spot? That's awesome, thanks!
