Hi,

i have:

1 - a polygon drawn in a GraphicsLayer.

2 - a set of points contained in the polygon. These points are stored in a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer

The idea is to display the graphicsLayer in the back and the dynamicLayer in the front. However, arcgis always displays the layers in the inverse order (graphicslayer in the front and dynamicLayer in the back).

I've tried:

- getDojoShape().moveToBack()

- map.reorderLayer

to no avail.

Thanks

This cannot be done in 3.x, but it will be possible in 4.x. A GraphicsLayer will always be in front of a Tiled or Dynamic layer. From the help

Also, all graphics layers are always on top of TiledMapServiceLayers and DynamicMapServiceLayers.

One way around this would be to use a FeatureLayer instead of a Dynamic Layer, since the FeatureLayer displays data via a GraphicsLayer.
