very basic question re: animateShow

[alan.hayes]

I have an animateShow which slides a layout into view from above. However it pushes everything beneath it down, distorting the page.

How do I configure it to slide into view "on top of" the existing widgets?

Here is some of my code:

        setVisibility(Visibility.HIDDEN);
        setPosition(Positioning.ABSOLUTE);
        setTop(0);
        setRight(50);
        setAnimateTime(1200);

which I took from the showcase: http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#effects_animation_slide

I've tried adding the Layout as a child, and as a member, same result.

Thanks alot,
Alan

Don't add the layout as a child or member of anything - just draw() it.

Thanks!

Worked perfectly.
