    This is not possible on pre OS7.0 devices. For OS7.0 devices you can use ComponentCanvas class.

    Check this info from RIM

    Layering UI elements

    You can place UI components on top of other UI components using the
    ComponentCanvas class. Unlike AbsoluteFieldManager, which provides
    similar functionality, a ComponentCanvas is drawn on top of other
    fields and managers on a screen, like a video or camera field. You can
    add standard UI components, such as labels, buttons, and drop-down
    lists, to ComponentCanvas. For example, you can use a ComponentCanvas
    to display a series of buttons on top of a video field or camera
    field.

    ComponentCanvas is found in the net.rim.device.api.ui.container
    package.
