Trying to draw text over a sprite and it seems the only way to do that would be to make the text itself into a sprite and add it that way, the only problem is whenever it's near the other sprite it's being erased. What's the proper way to layer sprites?

Here's what I'm working with for context:
Code:
        this._box = []
        this._boxname =[]
        for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        this._box[i] = new Sprite_Button();
        if (typeof monbox[i] == 'undefined') {this._box[i].bitmap = ImageManager.loadPicture('Icon Panel')} else {this._box[i].bitmap = ImageManager.loadPicture($dataActors[monbox[i]].meta.icon)}
        this.addChild(this._box[i]);
        this._box[i].x = 75 + (161 * i);
        this._box[i].y = 300;
        this._boxname[i] = new Sprite(new Bitmap(this._box[i].x,this._box[i].y));
        this.addChild(this._boxname[i]);
        this._boxname[i].bitmap.outlineColor = 'black';
        this._boxname[i].bitmap.outlineWidth = 4;
        this._boxname[i].bitmap.fontSize =16;
        this._boxname[i].bitmap.drawText('test', 75, 310, 150,0, 'left');
        }

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
