Hello,
Is it possible to make an object in layer 2 appear behind an object in layer 1?
Or are layer 1 objects always behind layer 2 objects no matter what.
Thanks in advance!

Objects in layer 2 are always above objects in level 1 as you said (with the special exception of Windows UI such as buttons, text boxes, and some strings that act weird). You can move objects between layers if you need to change draw order. You may also want to look into using the layer object to order objects differently.
What are you trying to achieve?

Well as far as I know, I do understand I'm not very experienced. but in my actual year of experience of MMF2 I've used layer in just about all my games. and I know that an object on layer 1 collisions won't work with any object on a different layer (that's hint #1), And layer 2 objects are in-front of layers below (same goes too all layers) are always behind. I'm not sure why you would like to achieve this, But assuming you just want a straight answer. There may be extensions that such allow that concept, I don't mess too much with layers though.
Goodluck!

Yeah I didn't think it was possible.
Long story why I wanted to do it.
... I needed to have an object in layer 1 behind another object in layer 1. But I would like that first object to be in front of layer 2 cause layer 2 had all my lighting and shadows and I don't want any of that on this particular object. it is hard to explain. i have solved it with another method, but the layers method would have been easier if possible.
Thanks for your help.

So I'm curious, Chris. How did you manage to get around it?
I've got a similar issue where I have a shadows layer and I wanted to have the shadows in front of certain objects in the layer above it. It's only a minor thing but I would like to know how you achieved it.
Thanks, Vet.

I know there is an action to send objects to different layers.
And in case you need it for collision you can have a mask following it on a layer for collisions.
