A dialog always stays with its parent frame in the z-order.  I presume 
that you have specified frame (A) as the parent frame for dialog (C).  
If you do not want the dialog to stay with the frame, then do not 
specify that frame as its parent.  You can use a hidden frame for the 
dialog's parent.  i.e. specify new Frame() as the parent argument.
