overhead tile questions

I have a problem with overhead tiles. I am trying to make some screens where it is raining overhead, and there are trees you can walk behind. But whenever I try to walk behind the trees, the trees act as a wall. Is there a thing where I cant have 2 overhead objects on the same screen or what? How can I get this to work?

You may want to use layers, layer 3 for the trees, layer 6 for the rain. Overhead tiles can be kinda screwy at times when you try to use them for layers.

For rain and an overhead, layers is definitely the way to go. There ought to be several threads on the basics of layers.
