[OpenLayers-Users] layers limit

[T. Vieira]

Hi,

I have a map with 92 layers.
I have a layer to move a box. I click on it, and when the wfs response arrives, it shows the box highlighted. The problem is that the DragControl of that box isn't reachable, so i can't move it.
When i take 7 of 92 layers of the list that initialize the map it works fine. Any of the 85 layers works fine. One more layer and the box is not reachable.

Any advice?

What type of layers are you talking when you said that are spaces for 45?
We only have 1 Baselayer, and the others are Overlayers.

Am i mistaked?

Thanks in advance,
Tiago Vieira





fwiw it's kind of horrendous that we have these things hardcoded in.
perhaps we ought consider some sort of dynamic z-indexing plan?
