HUD help

Is there a good resource or tutorial on how to add another scenewindow as a HUD? My first attempt failed miserably.
I added this after sceneWindow2D in mainScreen.gui:
Then I created a new level with 1 label exactly where I want it to appear in the game (and deleted that label from the main level). I added this code to game.cs:
When I run the game the label is gone. How do I show one level on top of another?
I added this after sceneWindow2D in mainScreen.gui:
new t2dSceneWindow(hudWindow) {
canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
Profile = "NonModalContentProfile";
HorizSizing = "width";
VertSizing = "height";
Position = "0 0";
Extent = "800 600";
MinExtent = "8 8";
canSave = "1";
Visible = "1";
lockMouse = "0";
useWindowMouseEvents = "1";
useObjectMouseEvents = "1";
};Then I created a new level with 1 label exactly where I want it to appear in the game (and deleted that label from the main level). I added this code to game.cs:
sceneWindow2D.setUseObjectMouseEvents( true );
sceneWindow2D.loadLevel(%level);
//added hudWindow
hudWindow.setUseObjectMouseEvents( true );
hudWindow.loadLevel("hud.t2d");When I run the game the label is gone. How do I show one level on top of another?

Thanks William, you are exactly right! My current "HUD" uses about 12 different "Levels" to create the look and feel I want. I also noticed that the order is important. The main level should be called last.

hudWindow.loadLevel("hud.t2d"); line, you have to put the whole directory of your level. So it should be
hudWindow.loadLevel("game/data/levels/hud.t2d");if your using the default location for you hud level file. Also, make sure for your hudWindow profile, you have a profile that is see through like the GuiDefaultProfile, the profile your using might be fine though.
