Even though I call the DrawText after the sprite command, it still appears below it, and it is obscured. Any way of setting the text's z-draw to above the sprite?

Sprites are not drawn by the sprite command, they are drawn internally, inside the dbSync() command, so you cannot draw things over them. The easiest way to overcome this is to use 'dbHideSprite' to hide all your sprite after you create them, and then use 'dbPasteSprite' to draw the sprite manually each loop. That way you can make them draw in the exact order you want.

dbDrawSpritesFirst() seems to work for me.

Diggsey, that worked a treat! Thanks a bunch. Also, Bran flakes, I am using 3d so the sprites would appear behind the 3d so that would not work.
