  Thanks for the help, RockmanZero! Haven't used families till now, so it was a good way to get introduced.

  Unfortunately it did not fix the problem (although I kept it the way you described because I think it's probably more useful).

  I did ended up fixing it by playing around with it (not even sure how).

  Here's what I did:

  At first I had it so that when you clicked on a sprite it would destroy/move certain sprites and create others.

  What I did now is that when you click on the sprite a global variable is set to X.

  Below I set it up as 'in every tick', if global variable is X ---> move the sprites to their specific position (inside or outside the screen).

  I did different setups for the different pop-up menus, that are now determined by the same global variable.

  Not sure why it works, but it does.

  Again, I hope I'm making myself clear. Not used to using the lingo yet.

  All right, this is my first post on the forums, so I hope I can explain my situation clearly.

  First off, it's a mobile game, so I have 'touch' on, but I'm testing it on my browser with my mouse.

  I'm making a sort of 'pop-up' menu. As in, when you click on a sprite in a lower layer, a menu appears on a higher layer (a square sprite is created with other 'icon' sprites over it), where you can click on one of the sprites from the 'pop-up' menu (changing a variable and destroying the pop-up menu sprites - restoring the screen).

  Here's the trouble.

  I was hoping that placing the 'pop-up menu' sprites in higher layers would be enough so that you wouldn't be able to click on the bottom layer 'sprites'.

  Apparently, I can still click on sprites from layers that, although aren't visible, are still below the pop-up menu (which I obviously don't want).

  Another problem (which is even stranger) is that when the pop-up menu is not even created yet, I can already click on its sprites. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> As in, I click on where the sprite would be created (in the pop-up menu) and it automatically selects it without even opening the pop-up menu (or possibly creating and destroying in the same click).

  Thank you all for your help. I'm constantly visiting the forums when I have doubts and have always found the answer. I just haven't found anything on this yet.
